Nothing you can really do , her PTSD is something she has to deal with on her own , so best thing for you to do is just be supportive to her and let her know you are there for her and don’t let the shit she says to you get to you , it’s a chemical imbalance in her brain that is causing these outbursts and episodes so just by you being there for her is all that matters , If it gets to extreme just walk away and let her come to you when she is ready , just remember don’t take anything she says seriously and let it effect you , you will just be adding fire to the flame. I was married to a girl that suffered PTSD , and it isn’t an easy relationship , so be prepared to be a punching bag to her, love her unconditionally , all you can do if you really like this girl. I won’t give you full details on what happened to my ex wife cuz everyone is different , but from doing research on PTSD it has helped me a lot to understand what I was dealing with her before getting defensive toward her. Best of luck

you are very kind to be taking on such a burden... so long as she truly wants to and is motivated to heal, you have hope.
otherwise you will only be dragged down with her. She chose to continue to date this asshole who always pestered her for sex, she chose to engage in bdsm play with this asshole, why should you suffer?
I been married 10 years now and before him I was in an abusive relationship. Scared to hear knocks on the door and would always be scared to look outside. I stayed constantly looking over my shoulder and etc. then I dealt with childhood trauma and so much more. Then I dealt with stress from my husband job in law enforcement specifically harassment from his coworkers. He was always undercover in law enforcement so he stayed gone a lot. My ptsd is horrible from among other things. I don’t like putting my problems on others but after we moved and started a new beginning I got counseling. I have ptsd, depression, and anxiety especially social anxiety. I tried counseling before and got betrayed. I finally got help because it was the right time. I couldn’t let my past be a burden on me and I never let what happened to me stop me from achieving my dreams. I just got tired of feeling isolated and alone

Try to be understanding about her mood swings, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorder, and recognize that you cannot fix this.
Damaged. Imprinted. Waste of time.
