How did it go? Did you write a note?
It went great!! I jotted down several notes for myself but I ended up not needing any of them. Everything kind of just poured out of me. The doctor was very nice. I didn’t get to meet my therapist because she wasn’t in that day but I’ve worked out an appointment for next Friday and everything!
I am so happy. I have been thrilled, overjoyed, exuberant, insert super positive adjectives here because I finally told someone what was going on with me, and they told me I wasn’t alone anymore and they were going to help me. God, I bawled like a baby the whole time I talked.
He also said that in over 30 years of being a psychiatrist he had never heard of any illness that had my combination of symptoms, which I figured would happen as after researching different illnesses for years myself trying to find a match I never quite found one either. I’m excited to be able to explore it further though! I just feel FREE now. I feel like I’m finally gaining ground on my war with my demons. It’s fantastic.

Uh…damn. Just be completely honest and do realize that the reason you are going to a psychiatrist is to get on medication. Medication compliance is a big deal and noncompliance is a huge “no-no”.
Do be honest, they won’t lock you up for anything you say, they will just write you precriptions for antipsychotics, which you probably need.
