Reading sounds like a good option @utopia. I've been out walking and to the shops. Have cooked my dog's dinners and am about to make a vege lasagne for tonight.

Hi @utopia - hope you have slept well and are positive about the day ahead. Was today the appt with Work Cover or is it tomorrow? You weren't quite sure. Hope you checked. They wouldn't be impressed if you missed it. 😱

Re: HOME
Taxi picks me up at 11am. To get to the other side of the city by 2pm appointment. A 3 hour drive there and back for a 1 hour interrogation session.
I slept a few hours. But am now starting to freak out. Have my prn calmers with me - just incase. Am hoping to fall asleep in the taxi - to make the trip go faster and to panic less.
This Psychs report will be brought up in my Conciliation Meeting next month. Don't think it will ne favourable.

Yikes - doesn't sound like a fun activity at all @utopia. I hope it goes favourably for you. Do you know the sorts of things they ask? What to expect? Hope you get some rest in the taxi. Listen to some calming music.
Let us know how it goes. Shall be thinking of you @2:00pm. I always used to ask my kids when their exams were so I could send them positive thoughts durng that time.

Re: HOME
Hi @utopia - best wishes for your meeting. Good that you've done your research - my psychiatrist has worked as one of the alleged IMEs and has told me about how they work. You've come this far, you can keep going. Just remind yourself that you've been through worse and it's only an hour out of your life. What happens at the conciliation meeting? Does your employer admit blame and you get a payout or do they offer you alternative employment? Sounds like something for lawyers to sort out - I'm still waiting for my mediation hearing so I'd be interested to see how yours goes. Take care - we're all behind you.
