Just a few weeks ago was my first pdoc visit. With my tendency to over-research and over analyze, I knew what I had, and told him. I filled out a questionaire before my visit, and at some point during our talk he mentioned that it was pointless for me to be so miserable. That puzzled me, and I told him I wasn't miserable at all. He showed my my questionaire, and mentioned how many boxes I checked. I told him the form asked me for the last 6 months. He said "Oh, I guess it does" and changed the subject.That did make me wonder if on some level I was speaking from knowledge rather than from emotions. Or was I subconsciously fitting the symptoms? I don't think so, but...Also, the guy was somewhat of a prick. Maybe he was trying to bring me down from a bipolar confidence spike, but he did it with a couple of quiet "zingers" that brought me down in a hurry. |
