I’m heading to the formal board for bipolar depression. I disagree with this diagnoses and I’ve asked for a second opinion when BH first initated my MEB. I’ve never been put on profile for it until October when they initiated the MEB. I was diagnosed with it when I first got to the post as a follow up from my previous unit where I had a miscarriage...
My history with BH is that I basically go when I’m going through difficult times so I’m my 10 years in the Army I’ve went for four different situations... the majority of my visits were in Korea after having a miscarriage.
My most resent was here at my current duty station due to toxic leadership and a suggestion from a friend to go and hopefully they would help me move from the unit... instead it landed me in the hospital for 7 days to cool down (that’s what I thought) this happend July last year. By September I did a fit for duty and the guy recommended me for an MEB and placed me on a P3 profile and nondeployable...
I’ve been fight this and at every level they’ve stated that I was unfit... even with my new chain of command support... I’ve requested for a second opinion and was denied...
I know that my stress and anxiety were all situation related. I’ve never wanted to hurt myself and until this current situation I was never homosidal (I never threatened anyone, I just went to BH and told them that specific ppl in my unit were trying to force me to hurt them)
I need some advice on how to challenge both the profile and the diagnosis
