I am being delayed because of my psych eval, please read. (LONG)
This is my problem. I went to my psych eval not too long ago. I was nervous, but not too bad. I went in there being confident and honest. I know I had a lot of problems in the past, but that was the past not now. So I was an open book. I answered everything honestly. Well to make a long story short I had a lot of messed up things happen to me (which I know we all do) and I had suffered from depression in the past and had a lot of food issues. Well this woman focused so much on my past I think anything now didn't matter. She didn't ask me enough questions about the present. The ones she did ask I was honest about and thought were good answeres. Example Q: when do you eat? A: when I am hungry. Next Q: do you have less stress in your life? A: No but I handle it better. Q: What do you know about the surgery. A: I gave a very detailied explaintion that I am sure you would have all been proud of. Well that is basically all the questions that pertained to the present. At the end I felt she rushed through and simply told me, keep a journal and I will see you in a month, I can't tell in one visit if someone will be able to follow the after care diet. Well that upset me enough, but I was okay with it. Well I come to find out from my surgeon's office that she recommended a six month evaluation and therapy before even making a decision. My financee called and asked if we could get a second opinion or anything, being concerned that I would have to wait 6 months and what a hard time I have. She told him, no second opinion but I could prove myself to this other woman and maybe I would't have to wait six months. I don't konw what to do. My knees are so bad I can hardly walk anymore. I am going to see my PCP the 18th and talk to him and see if he can do anything. Any advice? I am willing to keep seeing someone afterwards, but to wait for 6 months, I am afraid of what will happen to my body in the mean time. I am happier now than I have ever been. I am more stable, the only thing keeping me down is my weight and my health. what can i do? I am so scared. I am 26 years old 6ft and 410 pounds. I can barely do anything by myself anymore. I only leave the house for doctor appts. What can I do???? Thank you in advance. Is it fair that I be punished that things that have happened in the past???
