I am so sorry you are going through this. Not only do you have the stress of an ED, you also have to deal with the stress of being in the service. I am not 100% familiar with the hoops you have to jump through to get care while in the military but my job has brought me to the VA a few times and I know there's a lot of red tape.
I am a 23F struggling with ED for 13 years. I'm not sure if you're looking for moral support or problem-solving ideas in this post but let me share some things that have been helpful for me:
-please share this burden with at least your wife. She married you, in sickness and in health. It might help to show her some of the resources for friends and family in the sidebar so she can learn how to best support you.
-try going to the grocery store with cash. Count out how much you need for staples and don't take your wallet inside. It's not a miracle fix but it has helped me stay focused in the grocery store more times than one. Better yet, ask your wife to go with you.
-seek out free, "off the books" resources like ABA/OA/SMART recovery. You don't have to sign anything, you don't have to join anything, you don't have to pay anything if you don't have money.
-have you tried working through a self-help book on BN? This book has been particularly pertinent and helpful for me.
-look for a low-cost therapy clinic outside the military that does not require referrals. I go to a clinic for $15/hr. They don't care if you have or don't have insurance. I sought them out myself (no referral from a doc) and have been going for months. I have a pretty good therapist and now my SO and I get couple's counseling there too. We love each other very much but it's hard to be in a relationship with someone who struggles with ED and it's nice to have the extra support!
It sounds like you're really struggling right now but I hope you know it can get better. I'm not where I want to be yet but I'm certainly healthier than I used to be. Onward and upward.
