tell me what that is al labout?

Demon Bane SG

Now my main problem is I cannot meet stress. If got stress, then I will get anxiety attacks. Also, if you don't allow me to do my rituals, I will also get attack. That's why Lorazepam is here to help calm me down. That time I defer my diploma course in poly for 1 semester because I cannot cope due to OCD. Now I am experiencing somewhat same, my doc says I having relapse. He say ask me try to relax and try out Lorazepam for 2 weeks see got improvement or not. I don't always see the same doctor, its a cyclical thing in IMH. That's how they work.

You must request to see the same doctor mah....I know there's another clinic in IMH that does that (ask your specialist). My fren got anxiety disorder and got a specialist memo to down PES from B to C9. Maybe your case will be the same?

Actually it all deps on your doctor and what he/she will write to the MINDEF....

I requested already. They say that I under Medical Officer, which always changes. In fact, their doctors, on govt policy, have contract only 6 months. If I want permanent doctor, I will have to go private consultant on 2nd floor Sayang Wellness. I got no cash for that man. And now I seeing this doctor he will follow up with me again. Last time, I saw one doctor he say write memo most prob army will give me clerk. I dunno whether he talking real or what.

I think get a private doctor better....easier process to downgrade....otherwise your current clinic dunno who will write/reply to MINDEF? They will push around leh...which doctor gave u the memo? Will he be around when MINDEF request your file or report?

anthonychua52 SG

Current doctor most prob will be around. I booking medical this coming Wednesday.So I guess the date shud be ard end feb to mar if fast and april if slow. eac the moderator say the memo is good enough and shud listen to the doctor. Also, most prob be C to E range.

Demon Bane SG

So now you are waiting for MINDEF to contact IMH for your report/file ? Last time my fren took 1 month to downgrade...how long have u been waiting from the day you showed MINDEF the memo?

Yes its with me. I feel drowsy and giddy, and I not very stable also, cant walk straight. Anyways, eoc moderator has told us that the memo is enough for MINDEF. I leave the rest to them.

You mean "eac moderator" ? Ok. Yes I heard the medication will make one sleepy....when will be your enlistment date? Will they delay you for another batch?

yep typo. I graduate this September, so should give them lots of time.

Dun worry, if MINDEF and IMH process is smooth, I think PES C2 will be guaranteed. Unless you have very serious OCD and medication doesn't work then possibly PES E. PES F is for those people who are "totally gone" in the head liao...

anthonychua52 SG

I cannot have stress, if stress then will have anxiety problems. And I must do my rituals, cos if I don't then I will be very distressed. My rituals take up alot of time and I am really distressed. Have been like this for years. Recently just up my fluoxetine dosage by doctor and then add Lorazepam when needed.

When did you started to see IMH ? You said you have been like this for years?

Please just wait calmly for your appointment and simply submit the specialist memo and wait patiently for the direct and official reply from CMPB.

Speculation now doesn't help in the situation at all.

Please relax and calm down.

Yup...its true. Don't worry....

anthonychua52 SG

Thanks for the concern. I am just a little uptight about it, cos its really important that they in MINDEF can allow me to do my actions when I am affected by OCD. I really have to do these rituals even though they are senseless and take up lots of time. My obsessions are not just about cleanliness and germs. There are much more other stuff that distress me. I have told my doctor about it. Don't worry about me, I will take the medication and I do have a review again in 2 weeks. Thanks everyone. Btw I see a psychologist for therapy also. Does he need to do anything?

Demon Bane SG

The medication should work....it worked for my fren...Good luck in overcoming your illness and the PES downgrade !

Hi all,

I was just downgraded from PES BL1 to PES C9L3 perm on the 110111 onwards with EX Upper Limb Activities perm.

I currently have a few questions that I need to clarify.

1. What vocation will I most likely be posted to?

2. Considering that all the clerk positions in my battalion HQ are filled and also my company already has an official company clerk, where will I be posted to?

3. Usually how long does it take to be posted to my new vocation?

Any kind of opinions are welcome!!! Thanks!!!

If army clerks are full, they may even post you out of army and into SCDF ?
