I'm having trouble calling a psychologist, and I think my anxiety got the better of me today when I finally called one. I practiced what I would say before I called her, but when I did she caught me off guard by coming off as entirely unfriendly. She told me that she wouldn't give me any drugs (I didn't ask for any), and asked me if I understood her...twice. I was worried that something I might have said probably made her think I was looking for some, but I don't know what I could've said that made her think that way.
I continued with the conversation and by the end she said she'd call me back. After a few hours she called and said that she was too busy to see me. I can't help but think that she didn't want to see me because of how I came across on the phone but didn't want to blatantly tell me that.
My mother offered to call one for me tomorrow, but this is something I want to do on my own--I'm just not sure how to act on the phone when I set up an appointment.
If anyone has any advice on setting up an appointment with a psychologist (something I know I'm making a bigger deal about than it really is), could you please offer me some pointers?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
