I'm going to caveat this with "I'm glad a friend made me get help" and "If you have similar problems, do something about it". However, I had a pretty tough time a couple of years back, and ended up with my doc referring me to DCMH. The care from my med center was nothing short of excellent up to that point, and going forward. My squadron Mayes were also fantastic, with my chain of command being about average really. However, DCMH passed me from pillar to post and my experience couldn't have been worse, to the point where it actively made my problem worse. I ended up gaffing them off and seeking civvy help out of pure frustration. That was incredibly helpful.
The moral I think is that your mileage may vary but that owning the problem is the best thing you can do. Denial doesn't go well. As someone stated in an earlier post though, the fact that we're even discussing all this rocks!
Edited for a spelling change!
