Question by Brennan: MEPS Disqualification?
Military folk I ask for your assistance.

When I was 15 I voluntarily went to a hospital for depression, due to fear of hurting myself, I never attempted suicide.

I was on celexa for around 3 years until I was 17.

I have been seeing a counselor for the same amount of time.

As of now I am perfectly fine, I haven’t taken any mental health or physical health related prescriptions in the past year, and my depression is something that is completely in my past.

I am looking to join the Navy, and I got a 90 on the ASVAB, and while I was at the recruiting center, my mom popped off in mentioning that I’m in counseling for depression, and now my recruiter has asked for my health records to send to MEPS.

 

Meditation with Archangel Azrael – This meditation can help you connect to the energy of Azrael, the great grief counselling angel. This meditation is by no means a replacement for grief counselling, and if you feel you need help, please find a local grief counsellor. When you prefer spiritual counselling in these difficult times, I am available for e-coaching or skype coaching (www.faeryqueen-healingart.co.uk). I send you strength and light. Cathelijne This video is probably best after the first stage of grief (namely ‘shock’) has passed. Make sure there is someone who can support you after this meditation should emotions rise up.

here they are:
