Trying to Hang in There...

KUDOS to you for keeping it all together for your family!  I'm certain I couldn't have done it!  I admire you for sure!!! You will get through it!  We're tested every day of our lives and are not given more than we can handle.  I'm sure when we go through things, we don't believe that...but I do believe it to be true! *~*Blessed Be*~*

Sing it Sister! That verse,  I Corinthians 10:13, is what exactly what got us through all of that. Thank you for the timely reminder! It's just what I needed. You Gals RAWK!

MUAH!!!

Hang in there!  I had the same problem but with the Dr.  He wanted me to get extra counseling.  Did I need it? Probably.  But a lot of my depression was due to not being able to move and I wanted it done quickly, so I was compliant and everything turned around in 5 weeks, and I got the approval.  Do I regret the surgery and the decision to go through with it?  No!  But unfortunately, we have to jump through the hoops.

You are one incredibly strong woman. You came through all of that and you will come through the psych evaluation too. It is yet another formality and you'll do just fine. No worries. I know that you are getting antsie at this point...but there will be an end in sight. We are all here for you. Take Care~~ Diane

omg woman, you are an incredibly strong individual!!!!  sorry they are giving you a hard time.

That does certainly suck.  Boy, you are one amazing lady!    If anything, your story tells how well you held your family & yourself together.   Keep us posted! hugs, Karen

Thank you again, Sweet Friends! You got me through a hard-knock-kind-of-day with just the right words of encouragement. {{{{hugs,}}}} Laurie

You are amazing, and were able to hold it together for your family.  I am sure that you will come through this just fine.  It's good to know that BCBS keeps an eye on people with a history of depression, as I am one of those people, oh yeah.  Good luck and keep us posted.  Crystal

Quite honestly, I never understood the point of a psych eval.  Afterall, even if I was psycho, I would still need to get healthy physically!  I BS'd my way through my appt and told them what they wanted to hear.  I guess I'm a better actress than most and don't feel the need to air my personal self with strangers.  To me a psychologist is another word for prostitute but instead of sex, you get someone to listen to your CRAP!! (ha ha)  But the healing and the strength come from within YOU and YOU did it girl!!  Don't give away the credit to anyone or anything or any pill.  You hung in there and got through all of that stuff one day at a time.   What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.  This surgery is worth it so keep being a pain in the ass with your insurance company.  They deserve it!! (ha ha)
