I don't know if my situation will be of much use to you, but all of the pieces were already in place for other reasons. femetal and I started relationship counseling at the beginning of the year for mostly unrelated reasons. Couple's counseling turned into counseling for three, so when the crisis/breakup happened focus just shifted to PTSD/grief counseling. (The breakup itself happened in our therapist's office, which was absolutely the best environment.) We're fortunate that our therapist also specialized in trauma therapy.
From a pharmacological standpoint, I was on meds for ADHD, so I already had a psychiatrist. Again, when the world ended the focus shifted. I went off of the ADHD meds and onto antidepressants. Of course I'm back to being unfocused much of the time (SQUIRREL!), but it's a worthwhile tradeoff.
I hope your Thanksgivukkah rocked!
