not sure if this in the right section but,

i was very nervous speaking to him about my suspicion about having add. he is also a new doctor for me because we moved here ha year ago and i just decided to finally see him.

so anyways, here i am sitting in the office trying to get to the point saying things like " it's kind-of embarrassing" and " i have done some research, but im not trying to self diagnose" and " some people don't even think this is legitimate" blah blah blah...

and so my doctor told me he believed me, and that he would take the time to find me the right resources specifically for me. it seemed as though he understood. he actually shook my hand and said he was happy for me that i came out in the open with my concern. he also told me he said he was going to medical school and a teacher told him he wasn't smart enough! im sure it was to make me feel better...

and i do! i didn't want him to just dismiss it or just throw a prescription into my hands. it seems he will take the time for me.. and for that i am so grateful! maybe he understands it's hard for adults to admit these things it's so nice to know i have somewhere to turn and for once someone will take me seriously...

thought i would share...

Congratulations!

I know how you feel.
I had the exact same experience with my GP when I went to see him about my own suspicion two weeks ago. I was SO worried beforehand, but he turned out to be just like yours! :)

I'm so happy for you!
