Hey /k/, I don't browse much but I think this would be the best place for help for the situation im in.

So i'll try to keep it short while giving as much info as needed.

I'm 19, and have wanted to join the U.S. special forces for a long time. I've set my entire life around it since like sixth grade.

Though in highschool, I took accutane, and i developed very very bad depression from it. I had it all the way into my freshman year of college, where i was forced to drop out by my parents due to suicidal thoughts(i would ever do it, just thought about it), and failing all my classes from the depression.

They forced me to see a psychiatrist or they would kick me out of the house and I would be homeless. So this didn't leave me much choice, so I went to this lady who worked for a big company who took our insurance. I told her about the drugs i used in highschool(to cope for depression) and my suicidal thoughts i had. She prescribed me meds I left, and wrote everything i said on a file.

I didn't like the meds and went off them, and my parents made me see another one. But he worked for himself and didn't accept any insurance. I told him the same thing I told her and he prescribed me meds.

Soon after I saw a recruiter to talk about joining the Navy, I was ready to start my career. He asked me if I am taking any meds for depression, anxiety, add/adhd. I told him yes for depression, and he looked at me and then got all serious.

He asked me if I had ever had suicidal thoughts, I told him you're not a medical doctor, and I don't need to tell you that. He wrote some stuff down on a form that had all my info on it. He kept on pressing and i kept on saying the same thing, eventually another recuiter stepped in and basically said if you've ever had suicidal or homicidal tendencies you're permanently DQ'd.
I didn't say another word and left immediately.
