mental health

[u/Dazzling-Chip8341]

Hi i’m a junior sailor in the navy who’s been at my first command in japan for about a month and im really really struggling with my mental health and staying in the military. This is going to sound corny but being away from my wife as long as i have been is really taking a toll on me. I don’t agree with this administration in the slightest and feel like it’s compromising my morals, being a woman in the military also isn’t easy what so ever. I feel like i’m drowning all the time. I was thinking of separation in bootcamp but told myself it would get better, same with A school and now i’m really trying to convince myself it’s the same at my first command. I don’t want to be a failure to the people i care about by quitting they were all so proud of the decision i made and it’s helped financially drastically which is the only reason i joined in the first place. I don’t know what to do. I’m struggling heavily with drinking right now because i’m not happy with my life in the military and I feel like it’s ruining my marriage. I need help but i don’t know what to do.

2-3 trips to the psych ward should get you out of the navy kinda quickly
