Hello everyone, been a long time since I posted on here. I have a question and am looking for opinions from those that have dealt with VAC for mental health concerns.
Im a 2008 vet and always believed my mental health was great. I have since had a lot of discovery, especially in the past two years and after discussing this at length with my wife I have come to the realization I have been living with anxiety for years and it is negatively affecting my family. I believe this may have been a result of my tour as I do not recall these behaviors prior, I always thought this was normal for vets and just intermittently coped with alcohol(which I have been working on quitting with some minor success). Is it worth my while speaking with VAC to get some help? Or has there been such a large time in between my service(got out in 2014) and now that this will be pushed off as a result of living life?
Thank you all for your input in advance, I appreciate your time!
