it seems like a light went off in my head. PTSD. Is anyone treating that? Self medicating with alcohol and drugs is one of the signs of PTSD. Even if someone was not in combat, PTSD can be a hidden disrupter.
It may not be easy, but if you can get her to see someone about PTSD, you may get your life back again.
You sound like you need some support also. A therapist?
Other lifestyle changes that help me are doing yoga, exercises, mindfulness, calm music, and being active on Psych Central. These could raise your energy level but that may not be the problem. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek.
