Go On with your bad self!

Hi Amy!

The psych eval will basically be a one on one rehash of the green paperwork you filled out.  There are some very vital questions they ask about your history (don't lie about anything, it's really important)

From my understanding they are looking to weed out anyone who might be prone to anorexia and bulemia (go figure... if we had those issues we wouldnt' be fat would we? lol)  but it DOES Happen.  I have SEEN hit happen.  People go to the extreme after surgery and barely eat.  My heart goes out to these people who suffer like that, but that's what this evaluation is for.

They will not deny you if you have any controllable issues.  I know quite a bit of people who get approved with depression, bi-polarity, yaddah yaddah yaddah... the eval is just for your safety.  It's nothing special really, again just a recap of the questions on your green papers.

They want to make sure you're gonig to be successful, and your family/support system is ready to support you (but don't worry, if they aren't I'm sure they won't deny you so as long as YOU are ready)

Good Luck!!
