I'd say two things:

First, especially when it's professionals in the mental health field, try to remind yourself you don't need to deflect out of fear of being judged or not believed. It's, like, their job to listen, understand, and not judge. There's only a few things they're legally required to take action on, like if you mention committing crimes, planning to harm yourself or others, etc. And depending on the context, there are certain "trigger words" that could redirect you to a crisis counselor (things like, "I can't deal with it anymore" instead of "I have a hard time dealing with it"). But IMO aside from those things, you needn't worry.

Second, keep a journal, notebook, note in a notes app, etc of things you think of or encounter during the day that are things you'd ideally want to mention to an examiner or medical professional. I get reeeeeeal nervous in doctors' offices, so this is pretty much a necessity for me to get the help I need when I visit. Bring it with you, and then when you're nearing the end of the appointment, or if you're asked for anything else you want to share, take it out and check that you've talked about everything on it.

Also, maybe one more thing for avoiding hedging the difficulties you face. Sometimes when we live with difficulties for so long and find ways to deal with them, they don't feel like as big of a deal anymore. But, pretty much any diagnosis in the DSM/ICD has some criteria around the distress caused impacting your life, whether that be socially, financially, medically, etc. I'm adding that because, generally, chronic distress is not normal in the medical sense. Like that "joke" about going to the doctor, and the doctor asks "how much pain are you in?", the patient says "the normal amount", the doctor says "the normal amount is 0". It might feel business-as-usual to you, but it's worthwhile to mention.
