QUESTIONS:
Why is it unacceptable to say 'I'm fine' when asked how I'm doing?

'How often have you been bothered by feeling afraid, as if something awful might happen?' Answered 'more than half the days', however 'I'm not sure' felt more fitting due to profession. 'I'm not sure' not an option.

THOUGHTS:
Focussed again on desire (need?) for clear structure and routine. It is beneficial for multiple reasons, but can be taken as attempt to cope with stressors. Will need to research this further, unable to make clear connection between the two.
Case review format of discussion is helpful for recognizing parallels. Difficult to see self through lens of a physician.
OCD and D&A Assessments completed and uploaded to portal. No timeline given to complete, but possibly finished too quickly and results may be inaccurate. Reassured there are no right/wrong answers.
Asked clarifying questions re: assessment answers. Still unsure the difference between anticipating and catastrophizing as it relates to situation. Good understanding of symptoms of anxiety attack, however unable to relate them fully to situation.
"...not everybody gets anxious sometimes, or to the level that's being described." - Will reevaluate.
Prescribed medication noted as potential treatment, but am hesitant. Will likely declined.
Will continue.
