It's called General Anxiety Disorder and I was taking medication for it a few years back. I've been off of the medication for a while and don't suffer from it anymore.
Believe me, I don't think I can do any more about getting in the military. We went to the guy who makes the final decision about whether I get in and he said I sounded alright to him. I took a physical, passed with good colors, and then his bosses turned me down. Some guy at work said a friend of his got turned down after taking a physical and he just went to a different state and signed up, but I'm taking that with a grain of salt.
The way I see it, the only way I'm getting into the military is if the draft comes back or I go commit a felony and they offer military service in place of jail time. The draft doesn't look like it's coming back anytime soon, and as much as I want to be a soldier, I'm not going to become a criminal for it. The best thing for me to do now is to just move on and put it behind me. I played my hand and lost, so better luck next time.
