Justice,
I really wish that you were able to move to an area with a warm weather climate. It helps so much for people with your symptom profile. I am speaking from first hand experience. As for the ssdi psych eval...just wondering if it was a doctor who ran you through it? In some states, that is the law. I just looked up WA and could not find anything on that. At our practice, I wasn't allowed to do ssdi psych evals, even though I was a licensed psychotherapist. Our practice was in Manhattan and NY law states that only an MD can administer that evaluation.
