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?

    Just wait until you get to all the things you had no idea you did until after specifically being called out in the assessment lol.

    It’s no biggie though. I think a good assessor will have been able to gather enough information about you from what you did remember to bring up. My doctor let me know it was okay to email him if I thought of anything else because people often forget some things.
