I'm awake and can't fall back asleep yet. There are just a handful of hours until my appointment with the pdoc, and I'm nervous. There is quite a bit that I know I need to tell him that I just wouldn't say this soon. Even t doesn't know I smoke currently, and I've been seeing her for almost a year. It just feels scary, to reveal so much of myself all at once. But as long as I walk away with meds/prescriptions today, I'm ok. I need something that will help now. I know it will take time to find the right combo, but at I think we can at least find something effective on the first go.

You could also ask him to do a "test run". In other words, ask him to try it out, explain how to do it, and then let him see for himself how much it can help you.
And when (in the test run) he says "I want to fix it for you,", something like that, you can gently remind him that the test run is on at the moment...  |
That could help. Last night went pretty well. I started sobbing not long after I got home, and he didn't say anything for a while. Then all he said was to suggest I move to his other side so he could hold me (I was sitting on the side of his burned hand). It was exactly what I needed. Maybe today we just need to have a conversation about that, so I can tell him how helpful last night was.
