I was recently requested to follow up with a neuropsych for a past adhd diagnosis. After I was told to send in my grades, I logged into my past university's ( I transferred) portal and was hit in the face with how bad it was. I had totally forgotten that for the 2 years I went there, I had consistently gotten either 1 or 2 D's on my transcript, and even an F or 2. Some years, I only took 4 a few classes. I know how bad this looks in terms of my responsibility and ability to function, and I have no good excuse. I did work at the time, but I feel this shows I can not manage 2 things at once or plan well. I should note the other grades are a few A's and B's, a couple C's.

I feel like submitting this information is as good as kissing my medical goodbye. Is this likely? Could I possibly submit one school and not the others?

Thank you for any advice

Hi everyone,

I have a HIMS psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Scott Johnson coming up, and as it’s getting closer my nerves are definitely starting to kick in.

A little background for context:

• Former Part 121 FO and Part 135 PIC
• Voluntarily self-grounded due to alcohol use disorder
• Over 3 years sober
• Active in AA (minimum two meetings per week)
• Daily contact with my sponsor
• Weekly outpatient aftercare
• Continuous DOT drug/alcohol testing for over 2 years
• Completed all of the requested records, personal statement, collateral contacts, etc.

I’m not looking for ways to “pass” the evaluation or game the process. I’ve been putting in the work for the past few years and intend to answer every question honestly.

I think what’s making me the most anxious is worrying about forgetting details from several years ago or accidentally saying something that doesn’t perfectly match my records.

For anyone who’s evaluated with Dr. Johnson:

What was your experience like?
Did you find him fair and professional?
Was the interview more conversational or structured?
Were there any surprises, or was it pretty much what you expected?

If you haven’t seen Dr. Johnson, I’d also be interested in hearing what your HIMS psychiatric evaluation was like with another evaluator.

I know every case is different, but I’d really appreciate hearing about others’ experiences.
Thanks in advance.
