I am so used to providing support to others and "being a good Sponsor" and good example of Sobriety" in AA, that my Mental Heath problems don't have a place there..many old timers don't understand that mental illness is a separate issue of brain chemistry that any amount of Step work cannot "cure" as some have said..So I have difficulty reaching out there...

This site I go to on regular basis, SMART Recovery, it has a lot of techniques from REBT, which is used in many professional therapy settings, you're free to have a look over there and combine it with AA you're involved in. Of course it's no magical 'cure' either but it somehow changes the way you look at things. You'll find out that prolly many irrational beliefs run thru your mind. It's hard work but the ideas/techniques are relatively easy.
In my profile you can find a link.
I hope you feel better today.
