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.

Good on you for seeking help. You may also want to ask in r/veterans as they have a lot of folks that have been through the process, maybe even in Southern NH.

And if you are in crisis, there are options for immediate help:

The Army's Resilience Directorate
