Trace, this is rough. You might try some support groups for some comfort. Not the same, I know. Other options might be low cost/sliding scale therapist, possibly some college program and pay out of pocket if possible. I've heard of some other options around the VA because of the low manpower, but I don't know how they work. The only other person that I know of that was in a bad way and was stuck with VA system ended up cashing out their retirement money to go into an intensive private program.
