6. My anxiety ramped up considerably because of the treatment and attitude at got while in the Navy

They had me on a medication that triggered anorexia and I lost about 30 lbs that I really couldn't spare. And it did nothing for my blood pressure. When the corpsman took it it was fine. When the doctor took it, it skyrocketed. They were taking blood every two weeks. They just wouldn't listen to me about the really bad situation that was driving a part of my anxiety. You probably guessed it was rampant sexual harassment.

I'm just one of those people who has had really bad luck with the medical profession. It's hard for me to trust them.
