you can go to a myraid of professionals to do this kind of thing can't you?
eg,
teachers,
engineers
ministers of the church, rabbis, etc.

if you have children, their teacher could sign for you.

Anti depressants have no bearing on being a childminder evesmama. i am on them and have been childminding for 2 years! FWIW i think you have been grossly over charged for the signatures, i paid £32 for mine.
