Happy, fluttery, hopeful love coming your way Fuzzy. It's hard for "regular" people to understand how overwhelming and scary change can be for some

Ideally, the burden is on them to earn your trust.

I'm with you.

Hi Fuzzy, you are very worthy!!
Hoping that they're worthy of you!!!
Maybe try to look on it as a chance of getting the help you need???
Make sure you're prepared for the appointment though, hey??
Maybe write down all the things you're concerned about, and the background as a reminder so you don't miss anything out when you're talking to them??

I was battling for months to get a new p-doc (my former one, not a very talented p-doc, had been deployed to the mideast). Finally, I was assigned to a new p-doc and she is AWESOME.

I was a hairball of nerves going into the appointment. I really do think that apprehension is a normal reaction.

I hope you get a wonderful p-doc who is very helpful for you, Fuzzy. And sure - a pocket rider is a super idea

I am going through the same! Good Luck for you and me, then!

I hope this is a good pdoc who is worthy of you. You are worthy and you are important. I agree with writing down all your problems and concerns so you won't forget to mention something out of nervousness.

Best wishes fuzzy, I am in your corner.
