I recently filed a claim for secondary conditions and today I was looking in ebenefits and noticed my disabilities have been updated to: PTSD with anxiety/depression 70% Secondary Conditions: ED 0% 12/2016, Gerds 10% 12/2016, and Tension Headaches 0% 12/2016 so what does this mean exactly because I honestly only filed them because I was told to however I do suffer from each of them greatly. Thanks for any help.

I need Help.....I am a vet suffering from Chronic Depression and Anxiety. I just can not take it anymore. I dont know what to do. I recently went to the VA for medicine and I know it takes awhile before it starts to help but what am I suppose to do in the mean time., I can barely even go outside now.

Hello, I'm not sure where to start. I am currently going to the VA for Chronic Depression and Anxiety. I have been out of the Army since 2006 and its been a constant struggle ever since. After suffering for 2 years I finally went to the VA for help 2008. I was pretty much called a liar and told nothing was really wrong with me. They gave me some depression medicine and sent me on my way. I was very disgruntle about the way my visit went and decided I could handle this on my own. Well now it's 2011 and I recently went back to the VA for help after spending the last 3 years steadily worsening. I have not been able to keep a job or be productive in society at all. My depression and anxiety has gotten to the point that its hard for me to even go outside or be apart of society. I hate driving and evening riding with someone is hard (I was in logistics while in Iraq). I just have no idea what I am suppose to do. Im so lost and can not take feeling and being this way. Thanks for any type of advice and help. Feel free to ask any questions
