Mental help in the military?
I need help figuring out what to do. My fiancé has been in the military for almost a year now, and his depression is starting to become really prominent in our relationship. I feel bad talking about his problems on here, and he’ll probably see it because he knows my account, but I don’t know what else to do. He recently moved to his official duty station overseas, and it’s affecting him mentally. He has more outbursts towards me and expresses that he feels like he has no purpose there. He barely works, plays video games all day, and ends up feeling like shit because of it. I wish he could get help, but he’s afraid of losing his clearance and possibly his job. I understand his concerns, but it’s difficult to think of other options. I suggested making some friends, but it seems like everyone in the area is struggling with the same problem.
We’re getting married in August when I turn 18, and I plan on moving in with him after the winter holidays. Keep in mind, I’m still in high school and will have to take all of my classes online. I’m hoping things will get better then, but I’m struggling at the moment. I will support him no matter what, and I know this is a common problem with the military. Sadly, I suffer from terrible panic attacks and this situation has been triggering my anxiety. I’ve begun to be worried for my own mental health. What should we do? Where do you recommend he gets help, and how will it affect his career? I’m looking for sympathy for myself too, because I feel like I’m giving up so much by moving to another country in high school. It doesn’t seem to clock to him the activities, friends, and opportunities I’ll be giving up to be with him. I love this man so much and I would appreciate some advice. Thank you!
