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?
Thanks, this is really helpful. I did put the information I’m worried about in the forms so they have it and I shouldn’t worry.
The diagnosis won’t happen until they can interview a family member and I don’t have a date for that yet. I think getting an answer at the end of the assessment would be much better!
Great, I’m glad it was. Hopefully you can find a family member who helps prove your case because mine sure didn’t.
