I spent 2011 in Iraq and about 7 months ago started having mood swings and crazy dreams. Things have worsened with worse dreams, mood swings, and a month ago I began having panic attacks. I got drunk and had a friend take a box cutter from me. I tried to contact people in my area for help but no one responded. I just want help.
