Hello BastetsMuse: Well... I don't know if this happens with you. But one thing that has always happened with me is that whenever I would have an appointment with my pdoc, I would get myself cleaned up & appropriately dressed. So when I went in, I looked good. And I would also just naturally smile &, when asked how I was doing, I would reflexively say: "okay" or "fine". I simply couldn't bring myself to say: "terrible" no matter how bad I might have felt. So, as a result, my pdoc always presumed I was okay. How could he conclude anything different?

By the way, I also have the problem of getting excited about some hobby & then just laying it aside once I become bored with it. I've always had this problem & it has resulted in me never really accomplishing much of anything with regard to any of it.
