Military spouse with depression who needs help with a medical questionnaire.?

There are a few questions on the form about attempting suicide in the past, which I've done. Do I tell the truth, or should I lie? I'm not entirely comfortable with lying, but I don't want to be told that I can't go with my husband when he leaves (he's being stationed in Japan for 3 years). I appreciate any help. Thanks.

What would your Caveman ( LOL ) / Therapist say you should do ?
Reply:I would also advise you to tell the truth, and you should also seek some professional assistance under your tricare or through the base hospital.





be advised, (i have some contempt for active duty medical) that you might be in the system for a while waiting to be seen.





the truth is you alone will make yourself better,not a doc. in 1996, I saw an e-3 sent to prison for murder when a woman was calling for help repeatedly and she kept telling them she could not be seen,





In my case, I was injured and sought care at the cash in baghdad only to be turned away and no report taken. I was denied benefits for my injury which is slowly killing me.





get into the system, it is your right and use it, if you have trouble, walk down to the hospital commander's office and ask to talk to him





most have open door policies, be polite, your husband will pay for it you are not, but explain your position if you are constantly turned away.





don't be a second rate citizen in the military system of universal medicine
Reply:it is really up to you i would say no if you want to go but consider the consequences of being stationed in japan do you and your family think that you can handle living in a foreign country completely different and far from family for 3 years you should tell the truth but it is all on how strong you think you are





also if your history of suicide has actually been recorded by a medical Dr example you slit your wrist and were taken to the hospital or not or rather you just got mad and tried to hold your breath till you passed out





what are you considering suicide attempts
Reply:I think if you are in treatment (behavioral therapy and perhaps medication if you need it) you have some valid reasons for being able to go despite the past. Show that you are either better or getting better and I think that would help. But don't lie.
Reply:if you lie, and then when you get to Japan and you get depressed again and pull the same stunt, what then? what if they find out you lied?! what if they won't have the right facilities for you there to help you?! do you really want to risk your life like that?
Reply:tell the truth, the army has what is called a compassionate reassignment, if they think its going to be to difficult or harmful to your family, they might approve it to have his orders changed, good luck
Reply:Just tell the truth and try to get some help. Good luck
Reply:Tell the truth. How long ago was it. Were there extenuating circumstances? If you need help while in Japan, you may be sent back to the U.S. while your husband stays there. It is better to be reassigned to stay stateside than have something happen while in Japan.





Good luck.
Reply:Hi there. First of all, how long ago has it been? If it was when you were Not legally an adult, chances are that you may Not have to include it on your papers. To be on the safe-side of things, contact a local attorney and ask them. They should be able to give you some free and sound advice about things over the phone. Good luck and God bless you.I'll be praying for you.
Reply:Just tell the truth. as long as you are not under care for it now it will not be an issue. My Guess you are filling out the EFMP paper work and it is crucial to be honest on it because it helps them determine if the medical facility's will be available for any of you health issues. ALWAYS be honest on you medical and military forms it could mean treatment and denial of treatment in the future
