I don't usually put my private life on blast. Recently I have been struggling to find ways to help my husband who has severe PTSD.
The daily tasks of running an errand or a trip to the grocery store can be so stressful and exhausting.
Sometimes I feel like I'm not strong enough to help him through these hard times alone. We sent in a referral to the VA for PTSD support group. To any of you who have ties in with the VA, you may well know that it can be a very long and drawn out process to achieve your goals. Now over 6 weeks after asking for a referral, still no response. It's quite frustrating.
I know I can't help him on my own. I also know that a support group would be very helpful for my husband.
I'm beginning to feel extreme anxiety and low self worth because I feel like I'm not supporting my husband as well as I could be. But I'm doing my damnedest. If any of you out there have any recommendations or words of advice, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading and hopefully I will receive some positive feedback.
Best wishes to you all and thanks again!
