todarktosleep,
Hello and welcome to PC in general and to Combat PTSD in particular...
I'm glad you made it home.
This forum is where you can relax and share whatever you need to share--in a safe and non-judgemental environment.
I've found support and encouragement here that has helped me make it through some rough times.
Generation gap as my war was Nam, but the effects of the PTSD are nearly identical...
There are also forums for Depression and Panic, and you may want to read through them and see if they might be of help also.
Re counseling help...have you contacted IAVA for information and help? They offer a variety of programs for the Iraqi and Afghanistan vets...it's vet to vet so they know what you are facing and how to go about getting help.
The site is extensive, look on the left side and there will be a list of some of the available resources. They do not exclude women warriors...

We help each other, war is war and we share many things in common. Don't be afraid to speak up and share...
Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing, ok?
We Care
Catherine
