Worried

I have an impending psycological assessment with a therapist on Thursday and I am worried. I am worried because I will have to tell her that sometimes I don't feel real and I am worried that she will ask what I mean by this and when I explain she will dismiss it and say it's normal to have those kinds of thoughts.

The thing is I went to a locum doctor a while back to say I was having massive mood swings and she did a bipolar questionaire on me and asked if I ever felt I could conquer the world. To this I replied, sometimes I wake up and feel that I could do everything I wanted to i.e. I can be a doctor, vet or go to University. She said to me 'Well that's not really a bad thing'. I'm pretty sure it is because it is more than imposible that I could ever do these things so it is damaging to me. From then on, I've been a bit hesitant to say anything. AND to top it off when I went for my preassessment with the Primary health team, she asked if I hoard (as I mentioned I have OCD) and I said, I have hundreds of magazines dating to 3 years ago and I never throw stuff away. She said 'That's not really clinical hoarding, I'm talking about people who have the same edition of a magazine or newspaper 2 or more times etc) :S :S

I wonder if you can explain your concerns to the therapist from the start? Then she would know what your worries are and how to help you feel more comfortable to open up. If it helps, my experience is that psychologists/therapists are more sensitive about these things anyway.
