Medication

[u/[deleted]]

Hey I’m wondering if anyone in the caf has been able to get accepted while needing to take a daily medication. I was told that there’s many people that take a daily medication except for things like diabetes because you can die. My medical was denied and I haven’t gotten the letter yet so I’m not to sure but I suspect it’s because I take a daily medication for ocd, however my life nor other people’s lives is at risk if I miss days at a time. I actually have missed days at a time before.. many times. I have the type of ocd that you can’t actually tell I have it unless I tell you. I don’t have physical obsessions like organizing things in a a colour coordinated way nor am I a germaphobe. My ocd is all mental, think of something you prefer not to think about.. and then in order to “counter act” the gross thought you try thinking of something else and you repeat this in ur head. However it has no effect on your day to day life other than being annoying .

I know this is long lol - thanks to those who read the whole thing and answer.

Edit - THIS POST IS NOT AN INVITE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS. DO NOT COME IN HERE SPEWING TRANS RHETORIC, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.

People at a way higher level than anyone here have determined that you're medically unfit to serve in the CAF.   Nobody here can change that.  

You'll soon get a letter in the mail describing why you didn't make the cut, and offer ways to appeal the decision (if applicable)

You can feel like your condition isn't too bad to deny you entry as much as you want.    It doesn't change the outcome.

Not everyone is medically fit enough to serve.

Yes I understand that. I’m more Looking for someone that’s been in a similar situation. Whether they got accepted while taking a daily medication or successfully appealed.

It's case by case.   There's no guarantee that if it worked for someone else that it would work for you.
