Yes, I was. My pain doc had a psychologist on staff, and I had to have a session with him. I was a bit nervous, but it wasn't bad at all. The doc put me at ease so there wasn't anything to worry about.
I just answered his questions honestly and straight-forward and things went well. Obviously with chronic pain, you WILL be depressed. You would be very unusual if you were not depressed. The 2 go hand in hand -- chronic pain & depression. If you're not on an antidepressant right now, you probably will be put on one. Don't be surprised if you are.  It will help you feel alot better.
Best of luck & God bless. I hope everything turns out okay. Hugs, Lee
