And you can research these two disorders now while you wait for your next appointment with him.

I guess I just don't understand why you feel so anxious to know exactly what he wrote immediately? What do think will change if you know right now, as opposed to a few weeks from now?
I guess I am just impatient. I guess nothing will change if I know now or later. I'm just worried about getting "labeled" as something that I am not. I work with kids and don't want something that could backfire there on my record. Guess I'm a little paranoid that what he diagnosed me with could harm me.
