Went to renew my driver’s license today only to learn that I had a mental health hold put on me
Now I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to maybe be able to drive again in several weeks
So much for de-stigmatization, that’ll teach me not to tell people about my problems
I’m calling BS. There has to be another reason. I know that myself and many others have/had depression and the DMV never gave a singular fuck.
Tell the truth OP. What is the real reason you can’t have your license?
I can, I just need to do some bs paperwork that needs to be signed by my doctor
But it’s going to take 2 weeks for the paperwork to arrive via mail, and I can’t drive to my doctor’s office to get it signed or to the DMV to submit it
Meanwhile, I can’t drive to school or work
Is depression enough alone for a mental health hold? Feels like that should require more criteria.
If you are taking prescription medication or have declared a mental health condition, you usually have to fill out an additional form that your healthcare provider needs to complete and then the DMV goes from there.
If you don’t declare you have a mental health condition and/or that you are taking medication, you are lying to the government and they don’t like that.
So your options are fucking yourself or maybe really get fucked by the government.
You’d think so!
What state?
depression
North or South?
West
Utah
It suddenly makes a little more sense
Thanks. I’m curious if other states do this.
Meanwhile “why are no airline pilots willing to talk about their problems?”

Yeaaaa, you can talk about it just not to the government who likes to fuck with people.
