Answer by an_articulate_soul
it seems you need to find a way to overcome your embarrassment and ask for help...i don't think they can court-martial you for mental illness treatment...you've got a lot on your plate...and this will affect the rest of your life if you don't get help
but let me also say THANK YOU for doing what you're doing to preserve our country's freedoms

Talk to your commanding officer. You could be just suffering from battle fatigue. Do not be afraid of what they could do to you if you ask for help. Be more worried if you don't ask for help. A friend of mine's son is in Iraq and he couldn't cope and they gave him some antidepressants and he is still in Iraq. Good luck and thanks for protecting us.

WAIT AND SEE HOW YOU FEEL AFTER YOUR BREAK. IF YOU ARE STILL FEELING DOWN ,ITS BEST TO TALK TO YOUR ARMY DOCTOR. YOU WILL PROBABLY FEEL A LOT BETTER WHEN YOU HAVE HAD YOUR LEAVE.
Answer by writersblock2006
Id go to the army's mental health. Its a start. Then if they cant offer you adequate assistance, then ask to be able to see a civilian mental health doctor.
The fight youre going to have to battle with is going to be how gung ho the army is about desertion in wartime.
They will make it feel like you just dont want to fight when everyone else has to.
It really does take somethign drastic to get out of the army, and they always use the same excuse. Everyone has ot do it, so you must to.
I dont see no easy way out for you soldier.
what I would say is since its only 4 months, push through it.
Do this for your future. Try to take out the positive.
Do your time, 4 months is 100 days. youve earned an honourable discharge. youve earned the ability to put that on your resume for any job you get in the future.
Look into meditation, and prayer, because thats all that can defend you from this mess that Bush has made out of this.
If you had more than 4 months to go, my response would be different, because youll get 2 weeks R&R, and youll go to Kuwait for about 3 more weeks, so in reality you only have about 9 weeks in the box left.
You can do 9 weeks. Its basic all over again.
Then everything is easy from there. My best advice it to try to keep busy. Volunteer for details,devote all your time toyour work, because your mind is your own worst enemey right now. It will help pass the time if you are working dawn till dusk.
My salute to you for your service, my sympathy for your pain, but sometimes we get into these situations and the best we can do is make the most out of it. Thats what I figure.
Where everyone not there goes on their daily routine, you are proving yourself an american HERO!
your life does mean something...means more than the politicians fighting over what to do?
you are the best that is in us all, and dont forget that. And every day you wake up, nomatter what law passes, nomatter what politicians or reporters say, you remind everyone what Duty and honour is, and how precious our ideals are.
And your bravery is uncomparable, your patriotism undeniable.
And it is a beautiful thing to see.
Count the days buddy, and stay positive!!!!
Pray and have Faith, and GOD will take care of your future
All the way!

If you dont try to get help where your at now they may try to get you for malingering. You dont want to wait to get to your home base, dont jump your chain of command buddy, talk to someone where you are now, and keep going up the chain. If this doesnt resolve your issue then sure you can see a phsyc at your home base.....Remember, they wont send you to the brig or courtmartial you for seeking help, they save that for the people who dont seek help then snap..........The thing is to seek help according to regulations. USE YOUR CHAIN OF COMMAND and you cant go wrong.....
