It is not uncommon. I can be that way sometimes with food in a restaurant or whatever. Don't want to complain or put other people out. It has taken a long time to be assertive. Even today I get very anxious before an appointment. I forget what I wanted to say. I can't remember how I was doing last week let alone last month. I tend to minimize how bad I am doing. That is why I started keeping a mood log everyday. I bring it in and he reads it and he gets an accurate picture of what is really going on with me. He likes it and I like it it works well.

Another example I run into is if I have been in a deep depression and haven't showered for two weeks. Then on appointment day I force myself to take a shower and shave because I can't go out in public like that. But it gives him a false impression because I clean up like a new penny. I am tempted to go in all grungy so he can see how bad it is. The mood log solves all that.
