Hi -spinach76- and Welcome to a caring support group.
I'd like to thank you for your service in the Navy.
It sounds like you are doing all the right things in healing. May
we be a part of that healing to make you complete. xx
May I ask what meds you are taking? I'm at 8 yrs off Benzos and still a nightmare. But same - depression, anxiety, social insecurity, lot of grief.
Looks like you are definitely on the right path seeing doctors, taking meds. I got you beat by a few years (in age), & see doctors, take meds, read books, have support groups (incl. this one which I highly recommend), exercise some, take classes of interest, do diag. breathing, etc. Also, have suffered & still do (but have made a lot of progress) from Anxiety, some depression, grief (so much loss these past few years), & some social anxiety (getting worse on the social phobia & since the Pandemic have relied too much on texting, groups online, & got out of practice in a way talking on phone, meeting in person). Do struggle. Hope you find lots of help on this platform --I do!
