Hi Rebecca, I just wanted to send a few words about my experience with therapy. When I first met with my therapist, I left her office furious at her. She had made some comment about how I was dressed in dark clothes and it reflected my outlook on the world. She was wrong, it happened to be the only dark clothes I had, but I kept going. After a year with her and group therapy, I felt so much better about my life and my problems. Yes they were still there but I was able to face them, change some, and work through others. So even with a bad start, therapy was extremely helpful and I recommend it whole heartedly. I hope you can have the same good experience too.

Rebecca, I had a similar experience when I did my psych eval. The Dr. said that he felt like I had a lot of depression, anxiety and stress in my life and I had to be willing to go into counseling postop if these emotional issues came up. DUH!!!Let me tell you, I was so upset. I was furious because I have had so much counseling and I feel like my weight is 3/4 of my problem. Yes, I have had some bad relationships, but I have grown from them and I am really not too concerned about that. I just wanted to tell you, don't feel alone that the Dr suggested counseling. It might just be the ticket that we both need to get through this. Hugs..Jane Farmer.

~*~I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all

It could be you are avoiding the board the same reason I did right before surgery. I was sure something was going to go wrong, I was sure the doctor would cancel, I was sure the date would be moved, I was sure I was going to get sick and had to move it. I was sure that everyone else would lose with this except me. I didn't want to see tht 20 more people were approved, except me. I would once again fail and I didn't want to read about others being so happy. Don't worry - I think it's quite normal. There are so many emotions going on right now with you. Relax, you don't need to read the board daily. As long as you have done your research and know that this is what you want to do. Hang on hon....your time will come.

Hi, Rebecca: I ditto Michelle's post. Some people try to read things into posts that aren't there. Quite honestly, I think we're all a little scared of what the doctor will find when we go for our "psycho evaluations", as my dh referred to mine! (He usually ended up with a nice fat bruise on his arm for that "cute" little comment!) Sometimes I wonder if the whole darned world wouldn't be better off on some type of antidepressant; I know the Zoloft has worked wonders for me!!! LOL Sorry you got bashed; just take it with a grain of salt. Good luck with your "psycho eval!" LOL

Michelle P. 20 years, 8 months ago

Rebecca - I'm sorry you got flamed. I took your comment for what it was - you were just making a "joke" - I take Zoloft and in no way felt you were calling me crazy. Some people are just really sensitive, I guess. I enjoy reading your posts. Hang in there! Good luck on your journey! (scheduled lap rny 8/5/03!)
