really nervous..

[stillgoing]

im 32 and ive known for a long time somethings not quite right..the last few years a close friend and my sister, have been saying i should go talk to someone..i thought id do a little research first and try find out for myself before a doctor i dont know throws a bottle of pills at me that arent the right ones..
ive done all sorts of tests over the internet on bi-polar,depression,hyperactivity,additives in food and their reactions and then finally the ADHD..
after doing the ADHD test i felt like finally it all made sence..but are these test ligitimate?? it was such a releif, i thought maybe there was something i could do about it instead of just being so scattered...
finally ive made the appointment and im so nervous about going.. ive been waiting 3mths and have worked myself up that now i doubt myself and all the tests results..
ive never been to a phyc before and am terrified of him laughing at me.. its going to cost a fortune and that makes me even more nervous.. and ill be honest, im a little embarresed i actually need one..
what do they do??
how can they possibly know whats been wrong all my life in one hour??
am i meant to say what i think is wrong or do they figure it out??
if anyone out there has been through the same thing and has any advice i would very much appreciate it..
thank you

hi i have been going to physc since my early twenties. what i found was that in order to get meds u need to speak to them first then i found going to a therapist was more helpful. also they need to diagnose u. hopefully u will get the correct diagnoses and u proceed from there if something they say doesnt feel right or u disagree then u will need to find someone who gets it right. dont be afraid they r only people. good luck
