Question
talecon
Now this is hard for me to admit but I was admin separated for borderline personality due to an attempt to take my life. The reason why I tried was because I was also married to a marine that got abusive and tried to kill me. I took a lot of home problems to work and was getting in trouble there so I went to a chaplain explaining I was feeling depressed (which was a big step for me because I'm not even religious). I got a civilian restraining order but they denied my military restraining order even after he came to my work and caused a scene threatening to kill me and himself. He was MP and had access to a gun. Anyways, there are lots of bad memories from my time in the military due to that. While in the military it was the first time I ever tried taking my life, when I got out I continued down a self-destructive path and tried to take my life several other times. Major depression and PTSD are my main diagnosis' and I'm currently in treatment for that. So what do you think? Would my PTSD be service connected? To me its pretty obvious those were very violent and traumatic times but I'm interested in someone else's point of view. Thanks
