I feel like I’m too likely to chicken out of an appointment online. Easier to make myself do something if I back myself into a corner. (Edit: and i find a good long drive to be de-stressing at times)
They’re a PHD/PsyD; they’re who I ended up with a referral to after seeing a psychiatrist, i didn’t actively choose them :/
It definitely felt wrong/disconcerting to hear that kind of thing, especially from someone that lists ADHD as a specialty. They seemed relatively young, I’m kinda baffled by it as well, it was upsetting to hear and try to rebut. Felt like i was back in school getting chewed out by a teacher 😞
ha, I was going to say it sounds like a teacher who is disappointed in their student 😄
I dunno, maybe they didn’t like you for some reason, or something about you didn’t fit their model of “normal”. I do think a lot of neurodivergent people can come across as immature or childish, which results in people responding to them as though they are children who just need to grow up or mature, not that they have neurological differences.
Anyway, yeah - sounds like you were dealt a shit hand, I’m sorry about that 😑
