Obtain help from a: Close and trusted family member and friend to help you emotionally and psychologically as you weather the storm in life. Talk to a pastor or chaplain to get u grounded and help u understand the reality about your religious beliefs. Follow up with your psychiatrist.Get enough sleep and find meaning in your life. Take care and god bless u!

Worth a try: Mindfulness cbt meditation is an effective approach for coping with stressful situations & is likely to be of some help. For your ptsd you might try emotional freedom technique (see http://www.Eftuniverse.Com/ & https://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=6i33v2ecvly ). Neither of these are substitutes for other medical treatment & counseling but may be very useful adjuncts. Blessings to you & your spouse.

Mindfulness: Mindfulness is a practice of paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, without judgment. It doesn't require religious affiliation, although there are meditative/contemplative practices in all major religions. It allows for open-heartedness towards one's self and others, which increases compassion & cuts down on defensiveness and suffering. Next steps in relationship can go from there.
