Anxiety Attacks before basic Training?
So here is the deal i enlisted in the army national guard and was truthful at MEPS signed all my paper work and was ready to ship on november 13.
Well on this Sunday i was watching TV and suddenly i had trouble breathing my whole body went numb and started tingling. My family took me to the Emergency Room where i was treated. The doctor diagnosed me with anxiety attacks and to see my regular doctor for treatment.So After the ER i called my recruiter and told her what happen. She stated that i should see my regular doctor. So i saw my doctor the next day tbut in that time i had 3 more anxiety attacks.
So my regular doctor basically said that I need to get therapy before i ship to basic training due to the severity of the attack and because of the fact that i had never had this happen until this point. So she prescribed me some sedative to help me sleep.
So after seeing my doctor yesterday i called my recruiter and told her what happen and she said things didn’t look good and said i might need to get discharged. I have been pretty healthy and never had any attacks happen. I have always pretty much been the toughen up and get over it. But ever since my attack i haven’t felt Very well and i feel like im getting anxiety attacks often i cant even eat. What will happen will i get discharged and if so what kind of discharge i dont want this to ruin my life. All i wanted to do is serve my country and now i feel like shit because i might not be able to serve. Can someone let me know how things might play out because im so lost
So i talked to my recruiter who said i porbally wont ship tomorrow but still wants me to see the meps docotor. She said i will stay and drill in RSP until im cleared medicaly so it looks like i might not get discharged but what then happens next
You’re not in the Army yet, so you can’t get any kind of discharge. The only thing that can happen is you don’t ship to basic; that’s not a discharge.
I would suspect fear of the unknown is your problem. If you’re reasonably fit you should have no problem. My daughter survived it and she was one of the least fit people I’ve known. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
You would be given a General Discharge under Honorable conditions which may require explanations in the future.
I don’t know where a_wood80 is getting his information but if you’ve completed MEPS that would mean you’re are sworn in. You have a contract. There are many programs with delayed entry before boot camp but you are still obligated.
your not in the service until you report for boot you can change your mind up till then dont let her scare you it will be no big deal to anyone but you. you can relax its YOUR descison go or not
you have a medical problem that might be solved by consideration of some protein,carbohydrate,or chemical you ingest,(breathing,eating,or absorbing through skin) that causes hormones to sectete in hyperdrive,,,source book is ” the yeast connection” pub by Dr, Wm Crook((1974-rev 1991),,,,,docs (mainstreamers) don’t think the approach valid,,,,,this contributes to 100,000 gulf war priorly strong capable soldiers ,now vets with ptsd,mental illness,,,,,,,your desire to serve is admirable,& merits a tip of the hat,,,medical techniques,which are out there,and available only by paying cash on the barrelhead (like 800$ to 1200$)
