I’ve been experiencing an increase in severity of my psychological issues over the past few months that led me to make an appointment with a psychiatrist for a general mental health evaluation and potential ADHD testing after that depending on what they find. I’m anxious (one of my problems) about appearing so normal that I won’t get help, because I’ve become really good at faking being ok for decades now. I doubt anyone that knows me personally knows that anything is wrong. Does anyone have experience with this in terms of being diagnosed? I’m just worried I’m going to spend all this money and time and they’ll say I don’t need any help and I’m right back where I started.

    Use this as a prompt for yourself when you are being evaluated and asked, in essence, “what brings you here?”

    This really helps me, thank you. That’s a fantastic way to mentally frame the questions so I can answer correctly.
