I have mental health waivers and signed for Aircrew. Will they get pulled in P-Days?

As the title says, I have mental health waivers. One for (situational) “adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety”, one for (situational) “adjustment disorder with depressed mood”, and one for PTSD (not officially diagnosed, just written in the notes somewhere).

All three of these have been approved by MEPS. I originally went through the Air Force and they were approved there as well. I was never hospitalized, never harmed myself or others, and only used low dosed meds for a short period of time. This was due to my parents’ divorce, and it’s been almost 3 years since any of this was relevant. I also hold a first class medical certificate with the FAA (I fly planes), and they approved all of this as well.

I’ve heard from multiple people as of recent that during the physical in P days for special jobs (aircrew, spec warfare, nukes etc.),that everyone with mental health waivers are being offered jobs like undes or culinary or being separated. Is this true? Does anyone have any insight as to why or if there’s any way around this? I really don’t want to waste my time, as aircrew is the only job i’m willing to take. Thanks!!
