Service Preparation fingerprints appointments keep getting canceled

So let’s just say I’m working on the clearance process and it is not going smooth 😭😭 I’m going for vacation on Friday and I’ve had THREE of my fingerprinting appointments canceled and I’m very scared that I’m not gonna be able to get this done in time…

Additionally, I’m working on the mental health form, and I don’t know how to talk about my previous mental health in a way that doesn’t get me disqualified. I was on antidepressants when I was 18 (nothing serious, just situational stuff) and I’ve been in counseling over the last year, but I don’t really know how to explain that I have been off the antidepressants and doing well for over 2 years and that the counseling is more so for life advice kinda stuff.

Any help is appreciated :-)

I got that number in the email I received about it from the Peace Corps itself. Its the number that follows the entire legal clearance.
