Eating disorders/depression waiting

Hello,

I have been reading for a couple of weeks and finally decided to post and ask for help and support. My package got to Randolph on 12 Dec 08. The MDG had made a huge error and was able to MEB and forward in just 4 days.

I want to stay in and continue my career, I have almost 14 years in.

I have been struggling with eating disorders NOS, then Bulimia, and depression, anxiety, for about 3 years now. My symptoms greatly improved and I'm in partial recovery. I got a great CC letter from the Wg/CC and he recommended RTD because my symptoms had not affected my performance at work. They MEB'd me after I was chosen for an assignment that I really was looking forward to. (a year after they were supposed to do it).

I haven't seen anything mentioned on here about eating disorders and how they are looked at by the PEB. Any information?

I have good days and some really bad days and try to keep busy so I'm not constantly thinking about when the results will be back. It's so tough though.

Welcome aboard,

I'm wondering what code did they have you down for? or was it a generic one?
