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?
