It is natural to be nervous about your psych. consult. While Dr. Stegar may not appeal to everyone, he is just what i always thought that kind of Dr. ought to be. Very friendly, but solomen (sp). Asked a lot of prying questions but don't they all. A little absent minded and his height made him intimadating to me. I let him know i was nervous. I also let him know i am an R.N. so that he knew i would know how to take care of myself. Anyway, I think he asked what my profession was. Take a chill pill (if you have any). Soon it will be over and you will do fine. i hesitated before i answered a lot of his questions but he knew that was due to me thinking over his question and my answer before i opened my big mouth. i have a tendancy to just volunteer everything about myself as soon as i met a person. i did not do this with him. i only answered what he asked me. Also, read all the questions and answers carefully on the written part. he doesn't have to know if you have ever considered suicide or harming anyone. Things like that, keep to yourself. Not that i think you would do something like that but i for one have. You will do just fine. The key is careful, careful, careful. I will be praying for you on that day. IT WILL BE OKAY, I PROMISE.

How tall is he ?? I'm only 5'3.... Is the office a house type office on the inside or like a regular Dr.s office ? I think I'll do ok...but I am very emotional when I talk about things I've missed out on with my childeren... and I dont want to look or feel like an idiot... I understand about Not spilling my guts....and only discussing what is relavent... But like you I tend to open up very freely to people... thanks again for all your help Delores you have been a god send.... Debbie
