Has anyone experienced or currently having cognitive behavioral therapy? Or therapy of any kind?

I had an emergency triage appointment last week after a mental health related incident, and the doctor recommended I have CBT for my severe depression and anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. Tomorrow I'm getting a referral but I don't really know exactly what to expect.

Or is it better for me to wait and see what happens in the therapy myself? I'm 20 but this will be my first experience with professional therapy at all, and I hate to admit it but I feel really nervous and embarrassed at the idea of talking about my thoughts.

And another question, what's the best way to talk about my specific mental health problems in a way that they can help me seriously no matter how embarrassing or strange they are?

I've gone to therapy, and it was really nice. It helps if you go in with a goal / some things you'd like to work on while you're there. It might be scary and it might suck to talk about your feelings, but the more you talk, the more your therapist can help you. Whether or not you actually achieve the goals you're wanting, sometimes it's just nice having a nonjudgemental person to be there and tell you that you're not a broken human being, yknow just giving support

Sometimes when I'm in public with a girl I'm dating, random guys will orbit us or try to chat with her. Or a single guy will next to us in an open restaurant. Since this is a common occurrence, are they trying to steal my girl because I'm not an intimidating looking guy?

I went out with a girl that acted like she really cares about me and it was the best time I've had in months. She was lovely and seemed genuinely interested in me and worried about what I've been through. She said she had a great time and would love to see me again. And yet I'm constantly worrying about her giving up on me. I've always had terrible socials skills so I'm pretty lonely most of the time, but I learned to mask that up by drowning in a sea of apathy and nihilism. Yet here she is, showing me what it actually feels like to be liked by someone again, but feeling good about something just makes me realize how awful my days generally are, and I have nothing to look forward to other than meeting her again in 2 weeks. That's an awful amount of time to feel the crushing weight of my life's state, all the while constantly thinking about how I'll say or do something stupid enough that she'll regret seeing me in the first place.
I can't get a grip. She's the best thing that happened to me all year and I'm terrified of losing her just after seeing her once.

Tell you what - if she really is into you then she won't mind if you say or do something stupid, unless you happen to do something really fucked up like shooting a dog.

About your terrible "social skills" - meaning that you don't know how to act around normies ? That's fine, don't worry about it.

So mind giving us a little deeper backstory ? How did you two meet ? How old are you ? How is your life awful ?

Alright here's the deal, I've been having abyssmal erection quality since I first started being sexually active two years ago (I'm 20 now). I've technically lost my virginity but I've never been able to climax during sex, and my dick usually doesn't get hard at all or it I can get it in few 10-15 seconds before it goes limp (The first 6-7 times it just wouldn't go up at all, now after doing nofap for like 2 weeks, the past 2 times I've been able to kind of get it up but only for a limited period of time as I said. This is pretty much ruining my life. At first I thought it was just performance anxiety, and that I was fucking myself over by trying to hook up with random girls I had no connections with. But the past 5 times or so have been with the same girl, that I actually know and care about. She's been very understanding through all this, but I can tell her patience is starting to run thin.

I'm going to see my doctor today and basically beg him for Viagra or Cialis. What should I say to convince him? I'm guessing I'll basically just repeat what I said here. I've seen him about this before so I'm hoping he'll consider it serious.

Will it be that easy? I'm just afraid that my young age will make him averse to prescribing something. But I've already seen a Urologist who basically said lol its in ur head and gave me some beefed up ibuprofen (I also have weird pelvic aches/lower abdominal that started up when I tried to do kegels once to work on fixing this) which did fucking nothing. I certainly feel like an old man down there, Jesus Christ.

stupid fucking thread but I'm an indecisive shit so make my decision for me please
Should I delete my Netflix and pay for Spotify instead? I use Spotify more but at least I can still use it free. I use Netflix less but I won't be able to use it at all if I stop paying. Then again, I could probably find the majority of the movies/shows elsewhere online right? (keep in mind I'm a moralfag so pirating torrenting etc is out of the question)

Life story time, should I be mad?

>Parents get together very young
>Pretty sure my Mum was the "cool girl that wasn't like other girls" type
>Dad is chad
>Dad has unstructured childhood of neglect largely but his family is stupid rich
>Despite having literally the lowest mark you can get in school results, he still lands a sales job that nets him ridiculous amounts of money for selling computers
>By 25 they buy house for £40,000 and are driving sports cars
>Mum pretty much pushes him into having kids
>after 2 years he leaves the family, comes back after a year to make things work for the kids after everyone basically telling him "it's time to man up"
>He inherits £20,000 and starts his own business with a partner, all he has to do is sell contracts to other business owners and pretty much watch the money come in
>we go to private schools and my Mum only has to work part-time
>all he basically cares about is sports, specifically football since he was a failed sport protege when he was young
>I play sports until 8 or 9 then get bored, my brother continues
>Dad resents me for it but I have friends so we really don't end up crossing paths that much, he figures I'll be some kind of late bloomer I guess, either way his main focus is making my brother a football star now
>school starts to take notice that at 12 or so we're basically struggling, they tell our parents this needs to be corrected or they will struggle soon, to my perception I just didn't know my tables and struggled to do basic math quite often
>start teenage years with a lot of baggage because I hang out with the nerds but my grades are fucking terrible, feel like I fit in nowhere
>teachers still basically begging my parents to step in but my parents ignore them entirely
>the attitude is "we didn't go to college and we turned out fine", brother continues to become human pitbull of a football player while I become stereotypical gamer dude

>start taking interest in the military because I liked the scouts, join reserves, actually have fun

>brother under a lot of stress as he is trying to get a spot on academy team for football

>we both get minimum (and I mean the worst you can do to pass) score on our school final exams to graduate

>Our career progressions
I do military for one year, finish training and leave because military life is hard and boring as it turns out

5 years of customer service jobs, then 4 years of college to get to decent job. Pretty much credit the military with making that possible and luckily managed to get part-time work during summers as well as a loan

Brother implodes, pro football career obviously doesn't happen, becomes drug dealer.. eventually house is raided and we have to get him out of the country to our family overseas in the US

He is a chad so gets married to a girl within a year of knowing her and lands a green card, gets a car sales job, actually makes bank

Dad's business crushed during recession after school, slowly loses everything. He basically never expanded it and overcharged his customers a lot so to them he was just an unnecessary cost. His family wealth disappears overnight because most of his family are complete lunatics who imploded. At 40 his friend lets him use his premises in exchange for doing tech support for his company

50 years old he just sits at home and drinks heavily in the evening, no friends and is basically a neurotic mess. Mum is still working and basically supports them both

While my career life is now going well, my social life is a shambles from years of neglect essentially. I have 2 or 3 core friends but I don't see myself ever getting a gril because honestly I'm just not the most attractive guy. I've had some flings but they're really just one night stand stuff

Over time I've become less and less interested in women and girlfriends.

I almost feel like I probably shouldn't have kids or a family?
>>

If you start taking care of your body and continue focusing on your career, you'll be able to get a girl. You're letting how fucking sad the world usually is get in the way of your goals, I've been doing that recently.

So my boyfriend has been using the method of holding himself to prevent ejaculation for more than a year now, and lately he's been experiencing some heavy pain in his lower abdomen and testicles area. The pain is intense and sharp and also lasts for a few hours, usually stops after masturbating or taking a pill and sleeping. Has anyone else been using this method or had experienced this sort of pain? Could this method be dangerous

It's called blue balls, vasocongestion, Epididymal Hypertension or a build-up of blood flow or other fluids. With more stimulation, there's more blood flow to the genital region, including the testicles or even the vulva. The fluid wants to get somewhere, but without there being that release, it builds up and builds pressure. it causes the insides to stretch as they get engorged, and that's what hurts. Most men won't even experience any noticeable swelling, but the engorgement happening inside the testicles is what's causing all that pain.

It's called blue balls or blue vulva because blue is the colour of a bruise and that is basically what is happening, you're kind of bruising your genitals because of the intense pressure. It is relieved by ejaculation and then you can either take painkillers and then sleep it or wait it off. If there is intense pain like he's crying and unable to move (like braking a bone type pain) then get medical help ASAP.

I used to get it all the time, I just ejaculated and then went to sleep and the next day it was always better.

Try not to do it all the time. There is possibilities of causing damage to the vessels and organs down there but they're pretty strong.

I'm not a medical professional but I study medicine in my own time for fun using textbooks and I did A level biology for a year. I'm not that type of person who uses WebMD or stupid articles. Please do not self diagnose anything without consulting a Physician or GP unless you're intelligent enough or qualified to do so, a second opinion from a pro is always best though.

This could be a testicular torsion, which is when the testicle twists and blocks the cord that brings blood flow to the scrotum. It can happen when you're having sex or during another physical activity, but it would be a lot more pain like excruciating pain and swelling. This is very serious and requires immediate medical attention.

I'm literally wasting the last years of my youth here but there may be a chance to make some money with these hand carved stone bowls or maybe I'll pull my finger out and actually write something or do something creative. I've thought about buying some weights and working out during the evening when the TV is on to get away from him. Should I leave? What can I do to get a real career? Do you think it's possible to make money with just a laptop? Anything guys; any advice at all you can give me because I am on the verge of killing myself out of fucking boredom when I would actually like to have some fun in life.

military?

your life is basically fucked already fyi by the sounds of it

go live with a relative or something, sounds like he's just having a negative affect on your life overall

if he's your only family and you're young then go for the military, get out now while you can otherwise you will just drift into drugs out of boredom and become a junkie

anything you do at this point there's a high risk of homelessness or living in a van, the military potentially can get you out of that situation

the fact that you're on here and not going to friends indicates you're either average or below average attractiveness, so yeh military or police.. welcome to the bottom rung of society
>>
>>18669128
I have thought about it but I need to get fit and I also definately do not have the GCSEs to even get into military (you allegedly need 3 at C or above). I also wouldn't mind having the capital to live in a van and drive the UK till I find something but I don't. And on your last point it's quite the contrary, I am above average looking but won't go to my friends because they all live in the town I left and I never want to return there. I intentionally took myself to a remote island so that I can get away from societal norms and the drudge of their affairs; also to somewhat help my father. Thanks all the same.

Girl that i sort of dated and used to see tried to kill herself today with pills. Just found out from her sibling that is a close mutual friend, shes in the hospital and awake so she will probably be ok. Really freaking out though and dont know what to do this came out of nowhere and i saw her just yesterday and she was her normal self this completely blindsided everyone.

sorry if this is rambling this just happened and idk what to do. Her sister that im close friends with is going to go see her soon i think should i go with her? Idk if its appropiate to be there since we dont really talk anymore and her parents never even met me but i still really care about her.

Any advice at all please, thanks guys. Pic unrelated

My sister killed herself this summer, so I can somewhat relate. If you care about this girl, then go see her. Let her know she's not necessarily alone and that there are people who care whether she lives or dies. It might make a difference.

I feel guilty whenever the thought of sex pops up in my mind, and I feel especially guilty if I fap.

I've only had sex once many years ago, something about that experience made me really insecure. So over the years sex has turned into this negative thing in my mind. But, being a healthy male, natural instinct causes me to still think about it. It's like my body and mind are constantly fighting each other and the end result is guilt.

Anyone else experience this?

>Go fuck a hooker and get over yourself

People told me the exact same thing before "go fuck some slut and you'll feel better". So 3 years ago I made a tinder account thinking maybe my 2nd time would be better. Nope. The bitch made fun of me and turned me off of sex even more.

It's not my testosterone

You need to start loving yourself first. After that you got to realize that you shouldnt prevent yourself from enjoying what life has to offer. Even if women turn you down who gives a flying fuck? I'm still alive and your pussy don't prevent me from getting pussy.
