I'm Starting To Fall Apart.

Thank you Spock. I had a follow up this week and was switched to Celexa from Zoloft since the Zoloft made me nauseous.

I have another appointment tomorrow to see a psychologist for the therapy part. My sleep has improved a bit, but I still have weird dreams about being back in Afghanistan and still wake up severely anxious and at times throughout the day have Anxiety.

The psychiatrist asked me again if I was fit for full duty and I said yes again. I am starting to doubt that I am though. When I am away from the base I feel somewhat more relaxed but when Sunday comes I tend to tense up and get Anxious again. I'm not sure what to do. I want to tell the Doc that no, I am not fit for full duty and I am a liability right now. But then I think how many people I will be letting down and how losing me in my unit means they have to get someone else ASAP. I fell trapped for some reason.
