Relative with PTSD

[ClappedOut]

Does anyone have any experience of helping people with this?

Reason I ask is the person in question isn’t sleeping and does house hold chores at 4am after going to bed at 10.30pm and it’s affecting them with work etc.

Also trying to understand the point where they need genuine help and may also be playing on it also.

Sounds like a rabbit hole of working out the line between genuine distress and attention seeking, they can be a handful at times and neurotic.

About as far as I’d get involved is walking the dog with them.

I suffer with PTSD and wouldn't attempt to try sorting out someone else who has or may have it as it very complex.
