This is great news. Even if you can't use your T for the eval, he will be able to give you very informed advice on what the exam will entail, how to present well, etc. I think your best stress reliever now will be to talk to your T and get advice and reassurance.

What do you suppose will happen to me after the psych. eval? Even if I only see the guy once, surely those results go somewhere and recommendations will be made that I might not like.

A good question for your lawyer. Or your T may know too since he does court work.

Which is probably a good reason to get my Vyvanse refilled...

Hope you can get it filled. I was unable to get mine filled this month due to some kind of pharmacy bureaucracy. So I got generic adderall instead, which has street value and potential for abuse. They'd rather give me this than Vyvanse, which has no street value and is not as addictive?

This is an area I need to work on. I don't have access to an indoor running track, I can't afford a gym membership, and the weather is far too icy and wintery to really run outside (one of my outlets). I have been thinking about acupuncture and massage as a good way, since I can't really see my T like I used to. One of my problems is not knowing how to relax.

I am taking a mindfulness practice class right now, which is essentially meditation. I go once a week and have discovered I am not a natural at this at all, to say the least. I have a hard time slowing my mind and body down to do this. I won't say I suck at this, because part of mindfulness is learning not to be judgmental about oneself. But you get my drift.
I think the massage sounds good. I didn't know accupuncture was used as a stress reliever, but if it helps, go for it! I have a couple of ways I relax. One is to work algebra problems online. I know that sounds bizarre, but it quiets my mind. Soaking in a hot bath also is helpful for me, if I can get myself to sit still that long.
Good luck. Hang in there. One day, this will all be over.
