[QUOTE=JDK721;21977680]nah, they don't necessarily make you ineligible. they evaluate you and review your mental health records though. it's on a case by case basis. you better hope they don't find out about your anti-depressants.. were you ever hospitalized or visiting a psychologist/psychiatrist? if they do find out then they're going to give you a dishonorable discharge. and also if you ever have a break down then they'll be reviewing your mental health records to see if you've had a history.[/QUOTE] thanks for the information, i appreciate it yeah, i was really worried when i joined because of it. but i cut the meds cold turkey, which really fucked me up, when i decided i was going to go talk to my recruiter. so i've only been on the meds and no hospitalizations or psychologist visits. as far as i know, they can't access your medical records at MEPS, so i'm in the clear as of now. now that i think about it, perhaps infantry wasn't the best thing to sign up for lol

I think this is normal, it's just a phase. You'll get over it.

[QUOTE=JDK721;21977680] you have to be off anti-depressants for at least 1 year before they'll even consider you.. and I'm pretty sure the question is if you've EVER seen a mental health specialist or been on anti-depressants etc. even if it was 8 years ago.[/QUOTE] guess i lied then :(

in the words of the great dr. dre: smoke weed everyday

Check this out OP: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_personality_disorder[/url] It's a disorder that is very prevalent in young adults. It's equivalent to a mid-life crisis, however if your mood continues as such go see a psychologist.

I'm guessing you're in a country that doesn't provide free mental health services. So get some weed.

Sounds like me a year ago. It's more than likely a phase for you. [QUOTE=The Salmon;21977320]Leaning concernedly close to this.[/QUOTE] Why "concernedly"? Weed is not as bad as most make it out to be, and is effective in dealing with apathy and depression.

You need professional help. I know a therapist sounds stupid but it will help.

[QUOTE=Stupideye;21977833]You need professional help. I know a therapist sounds stupid but it will help.[/QUOTE] I was going through a stage like this a while back. I found a great therapist, goes by Mary Jane.

Therapist or Get away from society, explore the world to change your views on what the world is and what is your meaning and place inside of it.

I'm really trying to stay away from blaming, because I really know it's me that causes me to be upset all of the time, but my mind always seems to make all these connections to make me feel better. IDUNNO. [QUOTE=Zeke129;21977773]I'm guessing you're in a country that doesn't provide free mental health services. So get some weed.[/QUOTE] I don't know? I live in Australia.

I used to be like this, then I grew some balls... when I was 7

Well i would say it could be hormones or something because something happened to me like this when i was younger.

[QUOTE=The Salmon;21977320]Leaning concernedly close to this.[/QUOTE] Why would you be concerned about smoking weed?

Just do drugs for fuck sake.

[QUOTE=KmartSqrl;21977878]Why would you be concerned about smoking weed?[/QUOTE] Worried about costs, untrustworthy dealers (slipping in addictive drugs), hiding from parents, slightly slight possibility of schitzophrenia and brain damage (all things I have seen happen to others around me, seriously).

Don't lower yourself by thinking smoking weed will fix anything it wont. It will just turn you into a fucking idiot air head like all the stoners at my school

[QUOTE=The Salmon;21977944]Worried about costs[/quote] Cheaper than a shrink if you have to pay for it. (Doesn't Australia have universal healthcare though?) [QUOTE=The Salmon;21977944]untrustworthy dealers (slipping in addictive drugs)[/quote] That's a sure way to never be able to do business with anyone ever again. It seriously never happens. Seriously. [QUOTE=The Salmon;21977944]hiding from parents[/quote] Don't keep it in the house. If you have to keep it there, be prepared for damage control should the need arise.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;21977978]words[/QUOTE] I have seen my younger brother turn into an idiot over the past couple of years by smoking weed. I am not going to argue over the internet with you because its obvious it will do not good for either of us

Who the hell puts speed into weed?

[QUOTE=The Salmon;21977873]I'm still in school :\[/QUOTE] Then ignore the social norm. Get out of high school w/ a diploma and good grades. Those will count in the future, not the popular morons you're trying to live up to in school. That in mind, you're free afterwords. Tolerate it. If you do start spouting philosophy, and don't want to meditate somewhere distant in nature, find people in college who can supplement/dispute with your views of the world, and can contribute to healthy thinking.

Another thing I forgot to put in the OP (this stuff sort of flows out, I tend to worry about certain threads at certain times) is that when I'm at school or out with friends I'm really happy and laughing lots, but it just doesn't feel right. It's really hard to explain but like I'm having a good time and all, but I still feel really useless and depressed.

Because i used to have the same problems as you. I went to therapist and everything nothing helped. But eventually i mellowed out
