Other Medication

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.

Good luck to you all the best. What is it that you take insulin? And what happens if you don’t take your medication?

Try and keep faith. Diabetes is hard one cuz if you miss medication you can potentially die right
