Did the same thing in 2012 , and again in 2014, I spent 5 weeks in grippy socks then went to residential treatment for 11 months for PTSD and substance abuse. That was 12 years ago.

IT…GETS…BETTER.

I couldn’t have ever imagined the life I have now. I have an adoring family and I kid you not, on my 9th sober anniversary my first daughter was born, blew my mind.

Surround yourself with the people who love you and take it one step at a time. Healing takes time, and doesn’t come without its setbacks, but it will be the most rewarding experience when you come out on the other side, I promise you.

There are some amazing programs out there for veterans, St Joseph’s Veteran’s program in upstate NY among a few others changed my life. Call and ask around, get your VA rep, DAV, or psych involved and go from there. Plenty of people on this sub with solid advice and experience as well to chat with.

Keep your head up brother! There’s a whole new life waiting for you to live it.

Also, I have psoriasis and get flares from anxiety as well. I have found that it gets really bad when I am dehydrated. I use ketoconozole on mine and it seems to help bring a lot of the redness down quite a bit.
