I understand... I went through it too. It wasn't nearly as bad as I'd anticipated. The doc I saw was a decent guy just doing his job. At the end of the exam he even told me he was recommending that my application be approved. You'll be fine

Is that really good advice though? I can understand describing how your worst days are, but to "act" your worse in front of this person? I have to imagine some of these guys are going to know if you're bull****ing or not. I'm only at the point where I'll be getting my first phone interview soon, but if I have to see one of their doctors (which I do agree is BS because they're probably getting paid to write people off as "okay"), I don't think I want to feign anything.

Bring a list of all your meds and dosage. The PhD I saw for my ssdi evaluation was very nice. I told him about the bad days and never had to lie.

I'm guessing this is the psych evaluation? I had to do a physical and psychological one, so just checking .
I understand, I was pretty terrified myself . Just be honest. Its good you have someone to go with you.
Good luck!

I couldn't express myself. Its like I went blank when he asked me how bipolar affects me. All I found myself saying was how I behave a bit when Im depressed/manic. Im kicking myself so hard. Im feeling really down right now even thinking about it, but what can I do now?

How does it affect me? HOW?! I quit jobs or get fired. Ive met guys from online and done things I am NOT proud to admit. I cry. A lot. I get stressed out working and have panic attacks and have to lock myself away in closets to be alone from embarrassment! I buy razorblades and bandages and hurt myself on breaks at work or during work in the bathroom. I hate it. I can't even be bipolar right. I feel so awful. I don't sleep for days...I don't eat...I don't stop talking or moving or doing. Its awful and I couldn't even express myself to the dang psychologist examining me.

All the memory stuff he asked me? Got it. Being bipolar? Couldn't even explain it.

I hate myself right now.
