Hello Arya: Well I'm certainly no expert with regard to any of this. But it does sound to me as though this could be related to PTSD. Depression & anxiety certainly can raise havoc with a person. And if one is not sleeping, this just makes everything all that much more difficult.

It's always a good idea, in situations such as this, to get checked out medically just in case. However, if nothing comes of that, then I think you would have to presume this is all most likely related to your husband's service. And, in that case, one source of additional help & support could be the Veterans Crisis Line. To access it, one calls the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1 (800) 273-8255 & then presses "1"... or one can text: 838255. Here's a link to the Veterans Crisis Line website:

I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
