Hey everyone.
I don't know if this is in the right spot or not..
So, I had my first appointment with a psychiatrist a few days ago. He said that he believed I had anxiety so he was going to fill out a form for my university to get me a few special accommodations.
Yesterday, I wrote him a letter about some things that I was way too embarrassed to talk face to face about and dropped it off with the form today. They called a few hours later and said that the form was ready to be picked up. When I read it, I learned that my diagnosis is severe OCD. Given my narcolepsy fears and such, I would have thought that it would have been pure anxiety that was the diagnosis. In the letter, I did outline some OCD tendencies that I have had but I still thought anxiety would be the clear diagnosis. I know that he read the letter because when I had the appointment, I didn't tell him much and he was on the fence about me having OCD.
Anyway, the letter was pretty detailed about the really difficult time that I am having, and he must know that because on the form he wrote, "hopefully she will being meds ASAP".
I have another appointment next week and I am SO nervous about what he is going to want to talk about, because I know the letter will probably come up. Any advice? I am so terrible at talking about my feelings.
Thanks, everyone!
