Hey... PTSD is not something u can just walk away from. I was married to a girl who suffered sexual assault/ptsd before we met.... Its one of those conditions that will evolve with you and it will effect you in waves as well as via a steady undertone of anxiety. I recommend you really focus on your healing journey. Its not something you can ignore. If you need someone random to talk to about about this with, send me an email.

Not to diminish her suffering, but I would like to counter a bit the inevitability of PTSD causing long-term harm. PTSD occurrence in soldiers follows a bell-curve with only the lower quartile having a sustained psychological disorder. The middle majorities get traumatized but after a varying length of time enter a phase of post-trauma growth. One quartile is not significantly affected by trauma and can shrug it off. Apparently optimism is a key element of trauma-resistance which is a trainable emotional intelligence skill. I'd recommend the book "on mental toughness" from harvard business review for some more insights on this
