The VA does decent for Combat related PTSD but not so hot with other causes. I don’t have a private practice to recommend if it’s not combat related unfortunately.

It is related to combat but not specific events. I was on a high tempo ops deployment with events almost daily.

That sounds like it would fall within what the VA would be good for. I’d recommend starting there.
I know when I came back all I wanted to do was disconnect from everything Military as I thought that would help but the VA has a lot of resources that were very helpful.

Thank you. I'm calling them now even though i don't know what to say. I've put it off long enough.
