Military folks?

Anyone here active or retired military and expecting? I'm having trouble coping with PTSD and these hormones ๐Ÿ˜. Wondered if anyone else is trying to navigate these troubled waters. All thoughts welcome.

    Hello,
    Iโ€™m currently active duty military and in my first trimester. It has definitely been hard adjusting to the strain of work demands and my body changing. I have felt myself feeling a little overwhelmed and my depression has shown up. I would just suggest for you to reach out to your medical provider and begin mental health counseling. It is available for military personnel so please just reach out and speak to someone. Itโ€™s definitely worth it and totally fine to do.ย 
    MilitaryOneSource is a great source to use!ย

    Would agree with above. Behavioral health support is easy, safe, and first line. The military has a lot of resources so make sure you use them. Pregnancy hormones can make even stable women have trouble keeping their emotions in check. Donโ€™t mind me as I cry over a Disney movie! Good luck!
