DO learn about the disorder
DO talk to others about the problems yo're having
DO expose yourself to situations that remind you of the trauma
DO take medication if prescribed, in the recommended dosage
DO give your medication time to work
DO join a support group
DON'T ignore what you're experiencing and reexperiencing
DON'T avoid situations that remind you of the trauma
DON'T keep the traumatic experience to yourself
DON'T drink alcohol or use other drugs to numb your pain
DON'T give up hope (!!!)
DON'T forget ... you are not alone and you are not to blame!
