he left a message saying he will call again tomorrow, and will make a time this week for whenever it is convenient for me to meet. oh god, i thought i could do this. i'm such an idiot. i should never have mentioned it. idiot idiot idiot deli.
You can do this. And you're not an idiot. Your pdoc needs to know what you've been experiencing. Tomorrow when he calls, pick up the phone and briefly explain what you've been experiencing and say that you thought he should know. Simple as that. He may ask you to elaborate more on some of your experiences so he can get a better idea what's going on, and if so, just fill him in. You don't have to go all out in therapy mode when you tell him. Just briefly explain. I can't say enough how important it is for you to be upfront with your pdoc.

You can do this. I know you can.
