upset

[deird1]

I am rather angry.

My psychologist says she's "sceptical" about learning disabilities. So far it hadn't been a problem; today it became one.

I was mentioning organisational issues (am several days overdue with some bills, still) and she started trying to tell me it was because I'm not prioritising, have a mental block about paperwork, and need a new perspective. All with this superior smile, as if she could see how in denial I was being.

I was upset. Now I'm angry.

I will give her one more session, and if she can't get it by then, I'm out. I will NOT be told I could do these things I have tried (and failed) so many years to do. I won't let her pile guilt onto me for not being better at these things I've become so good at dealing with. I will not be told I'm just lazy.

Not again.

Let me at her with my normal curve! There is no doubt that organisation is a skill, just like ice-skating, singing and maths. Some people cannot do maths to save themselves, some are exceptionally good at it. Most people are "average" at organisation (by definition): some of us cannot organise ourselves out of a paper bag.
Remember that there are some psychologists who 'get it'. I can testify to the fact that you have got better over the years, with lots of practice! Build on your successes and don't let her get you down.
