I understand that I will need the psych eval if I apply now. I can't find a psychologist willing to give the exam (most say it's not ethical to charge me & insurance won't cover) and the cost is steep. Is it possible if I wait a period of years (and don't date anyone!) that I won't need the psych eval? Or does the initial, 2 year use mean that I'll have to have the psych eval no matter how long ago? I'm strongly considering giving up on the PPL to do light sport (never applied to FAA) so I can at least fly.

You just need to provide copies of the medical records so they can make a decision. You will also need a letter from your current physician stating that you are not currently depressed.
