Hello I am 26 I have 2 kids. I don't know if this will help but when I am havin bad thoughts I picture one thing in my mind that always makes me smile. Mine is my husband doin a silly monkey impression but yours can be anything you want. It is strange but it gives your mind a break even if just for a few seconds. Hope this helps take care Sally

Hi and welcome
you will find lots of help and support here. What is happening? are you having panic attacks? Or do you feel anxious? The more you tell us the more we can support you. It must be difficult being under military discipline when you do not feel 100%.
Best wishes
Veronica H

Hello everyone and thanks for the responses. Im not sure where I am supposed to start talking about my symptoms so i guess ill just put some up here. Pretty much every symptom listed on the website I am experiencing. It has been going on for about 3 months...but the past 3 weeks have been to the extreme. I can barely function. I feel lost all the time. I feel like I am not really here. I also get very short on breath and very lightheaded and delierious. It is very hard to deal with this while in the military. i live in the barracks which is even worse because i can never get away to jsut go unwind and relax. I really have no idea what to do or how to help myself seeing as i have never had problems like this before. But, i do know i cant stay like this for long. it is to the point that it is unbearable. It is also very hard to hide how i am feeling from everyone around me. If things dont change, i am going to have to try to get out of the military somehow, which will not be easy. anyways, please let me know any suggestions or if you jsut wanna talk about this stuff.

thank you very much
