Just got diagnosed with PTSD need some advice

I won't go into much detail because the diagnosis I got today has made me feeling... I don't even know, but I'm a survivor of childhood abuse and just got diagnosed with PTSD today.

Any advice for finding support groups? I see a good psychologist already (he's been a great help) but I feel like I need something more.. idk.. focused, I guess?

Also any tips for confiding in my good friends about this? I've unfortunately gotten into the habit of keeping them at arms length as a sort of survival mechanism for years.

Sorry if this is a sloppy post. I'm still in a state where I don't know how to even feel about my diagnosis and how it relates to my situation.

Any help/advice/tips would be amazing and immensely appreciated.
