Ans of course, as I feared. I requested a medical exception to get my ID renewed, and my GP absolutely denied for not following her instructions and missing appointments! 😀

What's more, I requested many times to get a different GP too, yet I've been ignored too!

For all you know, I could be an idiot. You are making your own decisions and part of that is deciding how much to listen to my opinion, if at all.

      @ALonelySoul12 you do not have brain damage, you are in WD and you will recover even if you don't believe it. I empathize with your concerns about getting by without meds even after you recover from
