since you were in the navy i'm wondering if you are eligible for psychiatric services as an outpatient. you probably do need a complete evaluation including medical and then a consideration of what the next steps should be. i would think you need both outpatient therapy on a regular weekly basis some help finding appropriate financial assistance a place to live and perhaps medication. one thing that you definitely do not need is to be told you are either "insane or crazy. " you are not. you do need a mental health professional to advocate for you and who can help establish that you do not present a danger to anyone since you indicate that is the case. people often believe that anyone with a mental problem is dangerous and that's not so either. remember as a former service person who is now in need of help you deserve to get that help and to feel better. please see what person in the social service area can help you. if you cannot get help from anyone talk to local service person's organizations and see how they can help. very many times they do have individuals whose sole duty at the organization is to help people such as yourself get the services they need and deserve. you have served your country well and now your country owes you help.
i served in the navy and now have panic disorder. my family does not believe in mental illness. are they right?
