About what could go wrong? -
Hi Ah Jun,
I do not know much about your condition, but from your previous posts in this thread, I figure you are someone who needs constant reassurance and encouragement, or should I say you have a rather low-self esteem.
I am glad to see that you have taken concrete steps to help yourself, open up and ask people for help. Now that you have understood your condition, I believe the last thing you need would be a negative mindset and attitude. Instead, I think you should now try to look ahead, and think of concrete steps or actions that you can take to solve this problem. Asking yourself questions repeatedly, and constantly worrying, be it conscious or otherwise, would not be productive; this state of inaction and constant worrying would not bring you anywhere, and if any, would only deteriorate your current condition.
There are many ways advices as mentioned by others on this forum. I believe, besides constant reassurances and encouragements by those around you, what you really need to do now is to decide on what you are going to do. Of course, to each, there may be only more questions that you will probe about, but why not take them one by one slowly with time. Instead of wearing yourself out with more questions, why not focus on one option (say, sound out to your pc on the first day, perhaps), and just wait to find out whatever happens next. Perhaps, things aren't as bad as you think, and whatever circumstances that you may be thinking may not even occur in the first place.
In army, or in life alike, I believe you should try to slowly build up the confidence and trust in you, otherwise, it would be a rather hard time for you out there. I believe no one would appreciate associating with one who keeps doubting himself or having negative thoughts, like I said, be it conscious or not. In any case, I am sure you will be able to do that. Have faith in yourself! Medication and counselling, alone, I believe, would not aid your condition much. What will, however, is your resolve to start believing in yourself and thinking positively.
Do not try to attribute whatever difficulties you may be facing now to your condition. Instead, look at them, accept them, and come to terms with them.
Draw strength from those around you and more importantly, yourself. If you don't help yourself, no one will. If you don't believe in yourself, who will? Prove those that doubt you wrong. You will do fine, I assure you.
Good luck for your enlistment. I will be enlisting next Jan.

No lah. But somehow reading this thread make me damn fustrated. Like everyone trying to help him he "cannot" help himself.
FYI, I'm a doctor, although no longer practicing medicine. I know what is GAD and what he is feeling and talking about. The damn thing is... forget it. I will end up typing 2 pages long. -

I think I will give the same advice as everyone else.Originally posted by AhJun:then..u haf any advice for me?
THIS IS NOT FROM MEDICAL POINT OF VIEW - THIS IS MY OWN OBSERVATIONS
1. You want to worry, go ahead. worry until you so tired that you fall asleep.
2. Sometimes just heck care everything, and tell yourself that if all go wrong then so be it.
3. PM Gedanken for help. He is the psychologist here. With a doctorate to boot too. (HE entertain you or not, this one I don't know. Personally, I think he has already read this thread from top to bottom like me) -
its too late..its too late. i dun haf much time anymore. hmm what abt ur own medical point of view?Originally posted by chanjyj:I think I will give the same advice as everyone else.

you already PMed me, and I already replied you...Originally posted by AhJun:its too late..its too late. i dun haf much time anymore. hmm what abt ur own medical point of view?
Anyway I neglected to mention this. You can continue on fluvoxamine in camp, it will not affect you eg make you tired.
But even if you run out of medicine, it will not make you overly dangerous either, as fluvoxamine is a rather mild drug (you did not tell me your dosage level?)
Again I repeat what I said in my PM, tell your MO you are on fluvoxamine. Let him decide what to do next, or tell him you are on fluvoxamine but just ran out of medicine and see what he says. -
my dosage? 1 night 1 tab. what if i run out of med? what am i gonna do?Originally posted by chanjyj:you already PMed me, and I already replied you...

I also already told you in the PM once, and in ths thread once.Originally posted by AhJun:my dosage? 1 night 1 tab. what if i run out of med? what am i gonna do?
Tell your MO! He will probably issue you more! -
Seems to me that TS had exhausted everyone
Just go in like everyone else, and experience the BMT lifestyle first hand. There was this guy who suffer from Schizoprenia and he went through BMT just the same.
If you're looking for advice, tips and whatsnot, the whole of this forum already provided you with more than enough to get by.
If you need constant reassuring and all, get a gf ffs -

EVERYONE has anxiety in their lives... which yes is true.... but there is a major difference between having anxiety and having an anxiety disorder.... -
Ah Jun,go sleep la

I respect the fact that you're misfortunate to suffer such medical condition; and not once I see you as a laughing stock or treat your condition as a joke.Originally posted by AhJun:i hope some of u pple here do understand tt such problems are not a joke. u all think tt it is something which u can turn on and off and always say " why do u worry so much? just stop worrying!!"dun u all know tt sometimes its not in our control?

The point I want to raise is that, there are others whom suffer worse medical conditions than you. And if they could pull through the NS sh.it, so could you.
You recognize the fact that you suffer from anxiety disorder and you came to this humble forums for advices; people were kind and they gave you some advices and encouragement.
There is only so much, we could do for you; we could tell you. You understand your condition well; if you need the extra medication, get it. If you need the extra counselling, get it. At the end of the day, it's only you who can help yourself... So snap out of the self-sympathy, learn to control your excessive worrying and take it on the chin like everybody else. -
can't slp. thinking abt what will happen tmr..Originally posted by Marco_Simone:Ah Jun,go sleep la
