There's really too much to go into and none of it makes any sense whatsoever. Should I start trying to work my issues from the beginning or most recently?

Well, if you want some constructive advice from members here, it would help a lot if we had some insight into what is happening in your life. No-one can give advice when they have nothing to work on. Share some information so that we know what we are dealing with.

Well I got back from a deployment went a little crazy with anxiety got diagnosed an adjustment disorder. Tried to kill myself, failed. Dumped my 5 year girlfriend for someone I had just met. The new girl and I dated off and on for 7 months because every 3-4 weeks should be cut things off. Most recently we lived together for 2 months but two weeks I was having issues with depression so I'm sure I wasn't any fun to be around so she cut things off again. Now I just feel lonely and confused on how to feel happy again.

That sounds like a lot of stress. No wonder you are in a bad place right now. Are you getting any professional counseling for your anxiety and being suicidal? If not, why not? Are you on any medication? I would strongly advise you get help by counseling/therapy. You can't do this on your own.

You need to get a second opinion. Try a different therapist and keep trying until you find one that works for you. Sounds like you could have PTSD and you need a professional to help you through this, with the right medication. Don't just give up.

It's a long story but I can't do that for a while. Do you have any suggestions for the time being?

How about a VA? Any friends you served with? I truly believe everyone has a purpose. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to lose hope. Are you working? What skills do you have? Perhaps those can be used while you transition into getting more help..

 

Stay strong brother.
