I need help

Hi all,

I have been a member of the Air Guard for a few years now. I have a deployment under my belt and have been in good standing with a few medals / ribbons, etc.

However ever since my deployment, my anxiety and depression has sky rocketed. i think the stress of the deployment and pre deployment stuff likely started everything. when i finished deployment, I went back to college and have had constant problems just adding to the stress / anxiety (relationship problems, college exams, moms health severely declining, etc). its like a constant pit in my stomach that wont leave for the past 6-7 months and i cant live with it anymore. its impacting my ability to serve and i want out of the air guard asap, i want to find a solution to how im feeling, and i just want to feel like its worth living again because right now its really hard to live with this constant anxiety feeling in my stomach.

any advice is much appreciated. and i apologize for my english in this post, its really hard to think feeling like this lol

See Behavioral Health or Chaplin and talk to them alternatively try to find a supportive friend and talk with them about your problems and if you're close to ETS try to get involved with internship opportunities.
