Quoting: Anonymous Coward 593064That was detailed in another thread that no longer exists. I really can't go into it, which is why I'm NLI. All I will say is sarcasm, legal gun ownership and an extremely abusive/controlling work environment. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 633045 United States 03/11/2009 08:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | get a second opinion. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 584809My fil is a physician and he says psychiatrist are drug dealers. they will diagnose you and then forever they will write scrips while you pay for a med check every month or so Good Luck, What happenend? Thanks, on the fence about the second being a psychologist or a psychiatrist; my general practitioner tells me the latter. Do have a reference for a law enforcement forensic psychologist that looks good. Never had a history of diagnosed mental illness. Saw a psychiatrist for a short time in grad school. But those records are off limits, at least I hope. |

It's like most shit, tell them what they want to hear... say what you need to say... google up on some of the type of questions that might be asked in 'your' situation/type of evaluation. EXPECT to be thrown a few curves to get you out of your comfort zone... just take think it over good before you answer, trust you intuition. |

Which is why I'm incognito on this post. Or as best I can be. I'm sure they combed everything I posted, so I'll be prepared for those curves. Breathe before I answer, be honest, don't try to fake good. That I know. I'm still very nervous. What I do worry about is that while they find me not a danger, they will say that I shouldn't go back to that work environment because it is clearly causing PTSD. Then I'm FUCKED! |

Are they paying for the shrink?? If they are, don't be surprised of the outcome. One good side note, if you are let go for being a nut, you might as well use it to be a full time nut on ssdi. |

Second be a nervous as you humanly can be from the moment you read this until after the test. The reason I say this is because once you start the test, and it really isn't much to worry about as I recall, you will be in the come down and not twitch or use body language as obviously. By twitch I simply mean jittery feeling. I will pray for you that all you stand to lose or have lost be returned to you quickly, if you would like. And yes I do pray to the detail like that when I ask for something which I only do for others as I have no need unfulfilled currently. Oh, and don't lie. It will not go unnoticed or unrewarded. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 633045 United States 03/11/2009 08:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | psychs know who they work for and render their opinions accordingly. it has nothing to do with your alleged mental status. just kkep the answers short and simple. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 632948if they do the full eval there will be a written test. The psych is at 9:00 and the physical (WTF?) is at noon. I sit in a cube, so the latter is not really necessary. I'm wondering if they'll make me take a written, and if so, which one? MMPI? PFFFFFFT The VRAG is a possibility, but that is based on a LENGTHY evaluation. Hell, its going to end up as a paid vacation when all is said and done. And if anyone tells you that they can predict violent behavior they are lying. I've read all the research on it. |

My only advice would be to relax and center yourself. If you lose your job then you will find another. Whatever. Sometimes life makes you slip in a mud puddle. |

Smile and give hard direct and assertive responses. You are in command here. This is no time to be timid. BTW, what did you do? Practicing witchcraft at work? Passing out Alex Jones videos? Telling co-workers 9-11 was an inside job? Exposing the Jewish Bankers? What? give us a clue.... |

User ID: 632719 United States 03/11/2009 09:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | you're trying to pass a pysch evaluation to STAY in an abusive/controlling environment? I get everybody's gotta make monayes but isn't that like shooting you're self in the foot? I'd go balls out and scare the pychologist so much to the point that he can't even believe what he's hearing, get some crazy tranqulizers and then sell them on the streets as your income. win-win "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." -Thomas Jefferson [email protected] |
