I felt ok after the appointment but today I remembered we didn’t talk about the problems I have keeping a job.
He only mentioned work once to ask if can comfortably discuss work in a work context and I said that would be fine. But I was only thinking about discussing a programming algorithm or something with no conflicts. I’ve actually had lots of trouble with conflicts at work, or getting upset and walking out of jobs. I’ve only had one job I kept more than a few months.
Also he didn’t ask anything about living independently. It feels like we spent the whole session talking about socializing.
I’m worried he’s going to think I don’t have any problems in my life apart from socializing and that’s not important enough for a diagnosis and I won’t be able to access any support.
Is it normal to feel like this the day after?
I haven’t had an assessment, but I’ve left therapy appointments feeling the same way. I try sometimes to write things down when I remember them afterwards so I can bring them to the next appointment, but other times I’m out of energy and can’t.
I suspect it’s quite normal to feel this way, and I hope you get the assessment results you’re hoping for!
