Hi Sienna,
Don't worry too much about the not being sure when to go, or the door. He'll just think you were anxious, and you were, so he'll have an accurate impression. :)
After all these years with my therapist, I still just push the door mostly closed and he reaches over and pushes it the rest of the way. I think I'm afraid I'll accidentally slam it or something. No big deal, really.
As far as your doctor is concerned, if you're worried about what his plans are, ask him. And ask him about the purpose for the second opinion, and what he thinks he's learned from it, etc. When is your next appointment? It's usually the wondering and uncertainty that causes pain. Getting it out in the open and discussing it will make it way less scary.
Good luck to you.
Dinah
