what can i expect from a full psychiatric eval?

[bagpussinamerica]

I am having to go to a psychiatrist to be interviewed and tested from 9 - 5 on two consecutive days. That will be hard in itself, but apparently he is very biased towards w/c. He will want to prove the my depression now is actually related to my past family history and all of that usual stuff.

Can I take a friend or what? I know that w/c are trying to get me kicked off of the system. my attorney tells me that if I fail this eval my benefits will stop immediately. Has anyone ever had one this long and what happened with them? what sort of questions or tests can I expect. do i try to completely be vague about my past and just concentrate on my mood that is now lasted the last four years. I feel really helpless. My whole life has been ripped to schreads since day one of the injury, when I was fired by email with not so much as a thank you for your hard work,hope you get better soon. My daughter quit high school because she wanted to earn money to help pay for the bills. Now her life is a mess. She has been into drugs, broken relationship, moved from home and lived on the street for almost a year before she asked to come back home. But now she always says she hate me and hates this house. I can see to toll this injury has taken on her. But what about me? I have no one who crys over my tears or helps me out. I do my best, but I have no future to look forward too. The falls are constant now from the Tarlovs disease and the pain is increasing. I feel so completely isolated and almost just left to rot. When I can work I can always get through anything life throws at me. But now I am not even allowed to walk outside by myself. and of course there is no one to walk with.
w/c wont even consider vocational rehab so that even if I am still obviosuly injured and trying to recover, at least I will know the new methods of office work etc. Or get a med assist. liscense. anything . I hurt, but I will try to work. But I also know that no other employer will want to touch me because of the injury. once the case closes I was told any new injuries will be down to the new employer. Great. So at 57 I am alone with no future, not a thing to look forward too. I have a great mind, as my doctor says, but mmy body just won't work. she ssays i am not at mmi as well as my neurosurgeon. I need help. There are times now when I do feel suicidal. Only having my pets keeps me from anything since I know they will all most likely be put down since they are so old.

Please try to hang in there for your pets. THey need you. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, If I did not have them and a few people to talk to on the phone daily, I would not make it through the day, but at the end of the day I say i got through another day. Yes I have a wife, but she works 3rd shift and she sleeps all day, I may see her 1 hour if that a day, I am in bed when she gets home and she is in bed when I get up. I spend every day alone and I spend every night at home alone, just me and my animals, they get me through my day, and now I think I have Fibromyalgia on top of all my skeletal and muscular issues. I would not wish this Fibro feeling I have on my worst enemy. So hang in there and love those pets and they will love u in return.
