psychiatrist appointment

[Azzy69]

I have a psychiatrist appointment in 3 hours. I have social anxiety and I feel autistic not looking at psychiatrist. They always comment on it too. Is there any way around this?

They're a psychiatrist - it can't be that unusual for them to encounter an anxious person!

Their role should be to put you at ease. If they fail at that, well that's their failure not yours.

"I feel autistic" I don't understand that? And don't worry just like said above, a good psychiatrist won't put pressure on you. A bad psychiatrist isn't your problem.

Look at the shrink when you're talking to them. And what does I feel autistic mean? We're you diagnosed with autism? It seems like a lot of people in here are labelling themselves as autistic without any diagnosis.

Agreed. Even little autism requires therapy and it's not a kind of feeling. I don't know what the op meant. Maybe she meant awkward.
