Help?!? Adsep-general under honorable conditions discharge.
Posted on
Hey guys, I’ve been in the USMC for about 3 Years 7 months. I have a 5 year contract. I have avg 4.5 4.5 pro con and I have a nam with no njps or 6105s. I’ve been struggling with suicide, depression, anxiety, binge eating, and insomnia since the beginning of 2018. I had my suicide attempt in 2018 and after I survived I realized suicide isn’t the only option. No one knew about my attempt either. Some guys at work invite me to come to the gym with them one day after work a couple weeks after my attempt. It felt good, so I continued to go( it help me cope and I still had suicide and some other issues on the back of my mind but it kinda suppressed them). Fast forward to the beginning of 2020. Going to the gym wasn’t working anymore. I wasn’t get that happiness, fulfillment, and acceptance. I started going down that dark road again. So in May I reached out and started going to a civilian therapist that doesn’t deal with my medical files so everything was off record. (I was okay with that and I didn’t want anyone in my unit to know I was struggling). I’ve been seeing her 3 times a month since then. We tried different techniques and ways to cope but nothing was helping and I still felt like I was getting worse. So she referred me to the on base mental health. My first appointment was yesterday. The doctor automatically diagnosed me with adjustment disorder and all the other problems I was having was a result of that so he didn’t want to diagnose me with depression, eating disorder, and anxiety. He started the adsep process and told me I would be more than likely have a general under honorable conditions discharge. How can he already make that diagnosis in less than an hour and half. I wouldn’t rate my gi bill even though I have served over 36 months honorably. And I will lose other benefits. I feel like I am being misdiagnosed so they can just kick me to the curb as fast as possible. I have worked my ass off for the Marine Corps. I am not a shit bag. I feel like I deserve a honorable discharge(yes I know I wouldn’t have finished my full 5 years of duty). My unit found out today so they took my weapons card but they want me to finish the rest of my time. I just can’t. I think about suicide every and I even dream about. It causes me not to sleep at night. I get about 4 hours of sleep because of it (2200-0200). What should I do? Go see a jag or a lawyer out in town? They say I can get my discharge upgraded when I get out but that sounds like a problem that can just fixed in service. Why do they want to do that? It’s not guaranteed that is will upgrade anyways. They are a lot of other issues I’m dealing with too but I’ll just leave them out. Can someone guide me direction please?
