I'm a 44 yo w male U.S. Navy ret (24 yr). I have been diagnosed and am taking meds regularly Welbutrin and Zoloft in tandem. The problems started after about 2 months out of a deployment in Afghanistan.
I have had alcohol problems since around the age of 12 and have strung several years together actually sober and in AA sometimes. Smoking weed is where I like to hide at the present time. My wife doesn't like it but allows it for now.
I haven't been drinking too much as my drug of choice is weed like before I went in the service.
I am becomming violent and am stringing together incidents. I had a road rage where I chased a guy for a half an hour before regaining control enough to break it off. I got drunk about 2 weeks ago and had a blow out with my wife which she does not deserve at all. Today I went off on some guy in the Wal Mart parking lot.
I was really scared when this happend because I was on my way out to target shoot with my son. It was almost instinct as I went in the truck to grab the rifle. I snapped. No one hurrt but if this keeps up I'm go9ng to endanger myself or someone else.
I'm depressed and extremly sad about the progression of this stuff. I'm in counseling and am also going to couples counseling with my wife, I'm trying but it just isn't helping. I'm posting to see what you have here and maybe I can get some advice or atleast write to someone who has had some of the same experiences advice from. I feel like I'm sliding down a hill.
