I also received 2 letters from the dvla. One was a medical form. They asked when I last saw my gp for my medical condition. I came under the gp's surgery in 2006 and I never seen the gp for my mh. Even then I can't remember when I saw the gp for a physical health problem because apart from my mh I am healthy. So I had to leave it blank. If I have a problem with my mh I contact the cmht.

Thanks tiptoes. I am hoping that they consult my psych as he knows me better than the gp and also he was the one that said that I could drive again.

I applied online for my provisional licence yesterday and I am very excited! I know I'll have to fill out the medical from too so I hope it hurries up!
How long did it take for them to send out the form Dawn?
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
It took about a week to send out the initial form where they ask for a photo, proof of id. You need to get someone to say that you look like you. You have 28 days to return the form. Then it took them a month to return my id documents. It has taken 10 days after that to send them a medical form. One of the things they ask is if you have abused alcohol in the past 6 months, used illicit drugs in the past 6 months, and in your case Beckie when you last had a epileptic fit. They also ask for your medication including doses and your diagnosis. Most of my answers were no with the exception of asking if you had sought help from a psychatric hospital or clinic - I said that I was under the care of a cmht.

The slowest part of my application process was getting my doctor to fill in the forms!! I found phoning their PA to ask if they have received the forms from the DVLA to give them a bit of a nudge to complete them!
I did it all online so they will be able to get my picture and signature off my passport apparently.
My doctor is usually pretty good with forms and such (fingers crossed!)

I've finished my maths homework without too many issues. Wanted to get it done before I go out for the evening otherwise I'd be up until god knows what time trying to finish it!
What are you guys up to this evening?
I'm watching a bit of good old Jeremy Kyle! I can feel my IQ dropping by the second :p

I am having the rest of the potato cakes, beans and bacon for tea. I am going to wash my hair first though.

Beckie, to risk being a cliche (a true one) if you convince yourself you're going to fail then it is more likely to happen whereas if you use distraction relaxation whatever techniques you are going to be much more able to show your real ability without the anxiety being a tool :)

Waiting for a taxi now. It's so impossible getting a taxi around here! I'm going to be like 30 mins late.
Will definitely have to call hours in advance to get a taxi back or I'll be stuck in this village for hours!
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
That sounds like a really positive day :) yay for taking lots of photos!
I've had a good day, met up with two of the lads I used to go to a mh gym group with, and haven't seen for about 3 years! It was absolutely lovely :) lots of tales to tell and smiles all round.
'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change ♥
