Yeah, things usually do turn out better than expected. Though apparently my pdoc doesn't think so, as he commented after I'd said that school wasn't as bad as I'd expected that it was the first time he'd heard me say something like that. I'm so wildly pessimistic at times that I have a hard time believing I've really never talked about reality not being as bad as my expectations, but I guess it's possible.
My pdoc is pretty hard to flap... except, perhaps, when it comes to the after-effects of dental surgery. I can show up horribly depressed and anxious, question his every statement with little or no grounds, refuse to take medication (to be fair, this was mostly due to circumstances at the time), and just generally be my usual annoying self; and the only time I've seen him be anything but calm was when I had an appointment the week after I had my wisdom teeth removed. There was some residual swelling, but it was so slight I would've thought he was going crazy for noticing it at all if it hadn't been pointed out to me at youth group the previous night. How odd!
