Depression & stress. Hv suffered from depression since learning hw I wz betrayed by USMC/DoD by way I was discharged. Stress has added to depression since DoD seized my joint acct (mine & my late husband's) when I blindly believed one federal agency (Dept of Veteran Affairs works hand in hand with another (Social Security), way state agency (Food Stamps) works hand in hand with federal agency (Social Security. Because V.A. failed to act on my informing them when my husband died, even tho I wzn't trying to continue getting his pension. I cn understand V.A.'s reluctance to continue sending benefits to non-service connected veteran's surviving spouse without official death certificate but I fail to understand why surviving spouse must hv death cert to stop receiving benefits. Moreover, if V.A. is agency requesting repayment of overpaid benefits, hw is it that DoD wz the one to seize my acct, ESPECIALLY in view of fact seizure occurred while V.A. wz reviewing claim?

PO1 Ricky Allen Back pain and migraines are my two biggies. For my back I sit in the hot tub if it's keeping me up or wakes me up because of it, also take take pain meds and muscle relaxers, to include migraine meds, I do darkness, and silence.

The medas work for my knees but I spasm at nights at times so I've learned to stretch everything out including my neck before bed. Check your pillow as well cause that can lead to bad pressure points that lead to bad migranes in the night which could lead into the next day.

Nothing keeps me up at night except wondering who I am keeping up at night.

It's a lot, but it begins with tending to our AORs first. Don't take on more than God has given! I had to learn that.

I keep on finding reports about my military commands that were shut down mothballed. I am reviewing the constitution, the preamble, studying health stuff. Putting it all together.

Its better to know then not the know why my navy army transfer was medically disqualfied off the ship; , all these reports give me the real story and i feel like i now know I was reacting to a situation that was far above my paygrade so far up there that, there were navy war college and congressional reports and investigations debating it openly back thenPO1 Ricky Allen

I usually go right to sleep. The issue when there is one, is staying asleep. Cats, allergies and sometimes noise (like thunderstorms) will wake me.
