Hello all, this is my first post lol.
Anyways, I've been browsing around the forums and all over google and what not, and I can't quite find an answer to my question. Bit of a Bio here: I'm Active Duty Army, and just recently half-diagnosed with AS. I say half because, the PDoc said I have it but I wanted to see for certain so I asked for some assessments. PDoc had to make sure it's okay with Behavorial Health and they said it's not necessary because if the Docs say I fit the criteria, then it's a valid diagnosis. They said in regards to my military service, if I can function prior to knowing, then I can continue to function. The whole point I'm going to therapy and a psychiatrist is because I can't function, not to mention the depression and anxiety that keeps getting worse. Bunch of other stuff but save that for later I guess.
Well, Military life I thought would be great for me. I didn't even know I had AS before I joined. But now, it's a nightmare for me. Basic and AIT were terrible, and when I got to my unit things just got worse. I'm a Medic so you can kind of guess the stress put on me on top of daily military life. I don't know if I would be able to get an MEB for this or if I should look into a Chapter 5-17.. Any advice other than to stay in? Military life isn't suiting me to well.. Didn't want to go too much on a rant so my post isn't so long.
