Good morning @veteranspouseinpain I am so glad you found this group. We’re an online community who share our experiences, give support, and help others fin good information. We’re not doctors, though, so don’t give medical advice.
My husband and son are both retired army but neither was injured when deployed.
Have you been able to get help from any of the veterans service groups in your area? Would you say that your biggest is needing social/emotional support?

They have places near the VA but that's all the way in Houston and I live on the outskirts of Houston. In-between my job and taking care of my husband and my daughter who is home-schooled with a 37 degree angle and her spine for scoliosis it's hard to find time. And not only that I feel that most of these programs are more for the warriors themselves bc they need it more. But it's us wives and spouses that's taking it all in having high anxiety because of late night I don't know what you call it. Flashbacks. Yelling in dreams. my anxiety level has gone to the point that I've been seeing doctors and therapist and psychologist. I also go to the gym to help get my energy up because I feel like his pain and isn't PTSD and is TBI are draining my energy if that make sense to you. It is all helping. But it's the Deep stuff that I need to talk about and get out and wonder if other people are going through the late night stuff like I do and daytime.
