Are you working the steps thoroughly with a sponsor? If I may ask, is there anything in particular that you are unhappy with? What can you do to take a step in the direction for a solution to what is making you unhappy?

I'm asking this because I went through this back around 2008-2010 and 2012-2013 or so. Eventually I went to see a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with PTSD and MDD (Major Depressive Disorder). I was placed on an antidepressant and it greatly helped. Working the steps greatly helped as well, especially combined with the medication. The 12 steps kinda remind me of CPT (cognitive processing therapy) and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy).
