Yep, it was really hard!! Really really really hard. But we made us do it because we need to get the funding for therapy, and they needed to verify that we have a current mental health condition that is a direct result of abuse that requires ongoing therapy. We have a longstanding diagnosis of DID, they just needed to check it was still appropriate (and yes it is, no surprises there!) I couldn't even tell you how many of us took part in yesterdays assessment effort. Must have looked a little crazy from the outside looking in!
It was hard because the psychiatrist was a stranger, and it was supposed to be in our Ts room but got moved last minute to another office in another part of town, but we sure were glad our T was there with us!
