I really wasn't sure where to post this, so my apologies, and I'll go to the suggested forum if needed. I mentioned this in a previous reply to someone's post; I'm in the process for a particular caregiver/vocation. The process is very long (it's been 5 years and I'm just now allowed to proceed with the first major evaluations.)

This coming week, I'll be taking part in a three day psych evaluation with both individual and group components. I just received the daily schedule. (They also already have a psychologist and counselor picked out for each of us - I had to do two personality tests online, a self-skills assessment, and 18 pages of questions about my childhood/relationship to everyone in my family at each timepoint in my life, what was the "emotional climate of your family of origin?" etc.) But now I'm terrified about next week, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what these things are like (more/less scary than therapy?) The people picked for me have had two weeks to review everything together before I arrive. The schedule is basically: 1) group activity and private journal/assignment, share journal or assignment, 2) meet with psychologist alone 3) meet with counselor alone 4) break so they can 'conference' 5) meet with both together 6) group activity and repeat all day for three days. The last day, the counselor and psychologist eventually meet to review their findings with me.

I'm really, really worried about what to expect from the private interviews, especially since they know about my MDD and PTSD, which I wrote about at length, and even that was pretty dismantling. I'm just scared about how I'll react, what to expect. I'm not sure where to start as far as preparing myself. Experiences? Suggestions? Things to expect? Thanks for listening.

Yeah, that's what worries me. All of mine have been ER, inpatient or before knocking me out with seroquel etc. The "normalness" of this one makes me feel like I'll be radioactive. I don't know if the other students are going to have to talk about the 8+ meds they are one. But thanks for listening, always helps to have an ear.
