I have a few questions about the meps process.
I'm 21 when i was 15 i had my first panic attack then at 17 i had another one both i went to the hospital for about 2 hours to calm down. they came from no where, they just happened.
I went on zoloft 2 separate times for about 2 months each and felt no change in my body or anything so i stopped taking them. my doctor said he thinks i might have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder). He said this back in i think 07. my only thing is i haven't been on any meds in like 5 years and im doing fine, i worry but only about STD's that's my fear not a fear of dying just a fear of them. I work well in stressful areas and i no longer have anxiety attack/ panic attacks which when i did have them they were far and few between. Now im stressed because my recruiter told me to say no to anything on the meps questionnaire because if i said yes i would have to provide documentation, which i have none of. I want to be honest because say i did pass meps then went into the military and pretty much anything happened and they find out i once did have a anxiety problem or that it happened i loose everything Ive worked for. but my question is pretty much what do i do. I'm not risking anyone's lives im looking to join the national guard for air craft structural repair or light wheeled vehicle mechanic . I want to join the military really bad and serve my country but no one is perfect and have problems, and when i was younger i had some girlfriend problems and my grandparents made me see a therapist which was unneeded that guy really didn't do anything for me. i believe i am fine an i know its not up to me to be the judge of that but what should i do....answer no or answer yes and risk being disqualified
