How does google hangouts work exactly? I know it's kind of like a chat room where you can send pictures and stream webcam but is it always there even if no one is signed into it or?

Gonna have to say it again but don't loving drink. My experience is with USMC poo poo but I'll chime in my 2 cents as I'm sure it's applicable. First off, I know you don't want people to know about any of your issues and if you're seeking treatment etc. I could only imagine the backlash if one of our platoon commanders was known to be at mental health. The rumors that would spread, trash talking, etc. That being said no one has to know and no one should know (Unless you want them to). For us mental health was pretty much walk-in and voluntarily (sometimes forced, of course) It was also at the RAS and not our BAS. You could go to the BAS and see one of the MOs about the issues and they'd just refer you to the RAS anyways and write down your name to keep tabs on you. So it'd be hard for anyone to really know unless they were doing mental health treatment too. Also, please don't think seeking any kind of treatment will flag you and prevent you from ranger school, etc etc. That's an unfortunate misconception in the Military, especially infantry, that leads to the viscous cycle and poo poo spiraling out of control while some PTSD ridden Lance Corporal binges hard with alcohol to cope and inevitably hangs himself in his barracks room with a belt leaving behind a wife and kids (ask me how I know) Lastly the unit I was in had an MFLC (Marine Family Life Counselor) and there's a pretty big emphasis on that more recently because of the above scenarios. Pretty much every battalion has one and I could only assume the Army does the same. They're licensed civilian counselors. They don't write anything down, which is the big difference, and don't tell anyone anything. They mostly handle family/marital issues but you should have something similar. Sometimes for people just talking to someone like that can help a lot and they'll work with you and are very flexible. Some people just need that disconnect from the Military altogether, talking to someone not in uniform, and lack of paper trail for reassurance and to get them to even seek out talking to someone.

Well not drinking because of work is a good thing and means you at least have some self control. It sounds like you're just not compatible with the Military mindset and have the same complaints as any other active duty member, especially enlisted. That's why most of us get out. But you did sign a contract and you do have the play the game and go through the motions. But relax dude. You do have a degree and are an officer. So you're doing pretty ok. Definitely look into hobbies, etc. I know you're on deployment and I don't know the circumstances surrounding but martial arts definitely helped me. Seek out your MFLC type person and just have a quick chat with them man. (assuming you have one) You'll feel a lot of weight lifted off your chest. Sometimes you just need to vent. That's also largely what the google hangouts chat is. It's mostly just bs chat and dog pics but people also poke in and bitch/vent about work and life etc. Mental health is there also, use it. But if you've even had any SI (suicidal ideation) at all I'd definitely say you need to seek out one or the other. Possibly both. The latter will probably refer you to the counselor anyways. I'm not here to preach but just want to say that alcohol has some pretty lasting effects on your brain/mental health even if you haven't drank for weeks or even months. I know it's easy to scoff that off as bullshit and "I haven't drank in like 3 weeks!" I know I denied it. Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Dec 14, 2014 |

Most medical professionals say it takes 6 months for the effects to fully stop loving up your brain chemistry. Possibly longer.

iyaayas01 posted:if I'd just taken better care of myself and gotten help sooner. anddd this x a million iyaayas01 posted:Also you probably won't have a MFLC on a deployment but when you get back definitely look them up (counseling through Military OneSource is another good option.) Both programs offer civilian counselors and everything is off the books. If you are legitimately suicidal they will probably try to eventually refer you towards military mental health both because medication will likely need to be part of the equation (MFLC/OneSource are only counselors and therefore can't prescribe meds) and because your treatment will likely need to be an on-going thing for at least a little while (both MFLC and OneSource are restricted on the amount of total visits you can have) but MFLC/OneSource are good ways to step up to full blown mental health treatment if you have reservations about just walking in the door to mental health and declaring that you need help. Yeah also forgot to mention the counselors cannot diagnose anything (although they might hint at it) and don't deal with meds.

But all the minor withdraw symptoms are finally starting to fade (anxiety, lovely sleep, etc)

Wait, what? I don't know anything about you (where you, work, branch, etc) but at the most your CO and maybe one other brass should know as well as your most senior enlisted. Exactly for that reason. I mean unless it was work related somehow or something happened at work. But even if you're leaving work for an appointment no one should really know your business unless you're an active risk and even then not everyone.
