wayy to scared to talk to a therapist

>>38930243
Why do you need to talk to some schmuck like that?

When has that ever helped people?

OP, if you went to the grocery store in a pink bikini, who would really give a shit more? The people who judge you for five seconds as you walk by, or you? The answer is you, because you'd be thinking about their judgement for weeks, maybe months. Trust me when I say that all insecurity stems from within, and confidence comes from understanding where you are in the universe relative to other people. If you saw some guy walking around in a pink bikini, you might think,"Huh, that shit's weird." But you'd go on living life. Now imagine this scenario in any situation where you feel like you might get judged. Remember it's all in your head, and it doesn't matter anyways.

Bring a couple of those mini booze bottles to drink when you get there. By the time your session is finished, you'll be sober enough to drive again.

Tell me your problems OP

Normalfags would all take pictures and post it on social media to laugh with their friends for a good week or so. Probably bring it up once every few months for a couple years. Maybe even in a decade while they're reminiscing about life.

>>38930364
Who cares? Honestly, why does being laughed at bother anyone? There's no pain being inflicted, unless you let your ego and pride control you.

>>38930331
>>38930393
You better hope you never do that fag shit around me in public. I'll be the shit out of you.

>>38930393
That being said, I wouldn't laugh at anyone else. It's not a nice thing to do. But it's also a pretty easy thing to brush off, if you have a strong enough foundation to understand that it has no significance to who you are as a person.

Even if you do they might just deny you anyway, my therapist recently dropped me as a client because i never improve and i never will, it's a waste of time. Seems like im really beyond help.

>my therapist recently dropped me as a client because i never improve and i never will, it's a waste of time
Because you werent open.

>>38930446
Why are they allowed to do this? I thought it was their job to help

>>38930414
It's a hypothetical, I have no reason to do it. However, it says more about you than the bikini wearing man that you would go out of your way to inflict pain upon someone you don't know.

>>38930331
Yeah but what if im honest about my suicidal tendencies? I feel like theres a lot of negatives that could come from that. The therapist being a univ employee

>>38930347
I think I may have dysthymia. I get depression episodes quite often and feel like im never happy. i also dont really know how to talk to people on an emotional level because I stpped doing that when I was in a culty Christian middle school. I mainly just feel crushing lonelyness evem when surrounded by friends. I actually have a gf now and im worried she doesn't really care about me, and im worried it would be too much if I was honest about my issues

>>38930491
>Why are they allowed to do this?
Because there's no connection between patient and therapist. I personally switched 4 or 5 therapist till i found one with whom i connected.

>>38930492
>I have no reason to do it
No one does. Fucking queers do it for attention. You had my curiosity, now I'll give you attention with my fists.

>>38930491
>be mechanic
>car comes in that you can't fix
>tell customer to go to another mechanic who might be able to help
Fucking assholes, why don't they just bang on it with a hammer until it works?

>>38930633
If you cant fix something you're bad at your job and need to resign

>>38930656
>lol lets just send everyone to the high end specialists and multiply their workload by a thousand
>there's no way the value of their work would decrease
>sure would beat paying these bums to handle 90% of general issues

I don't know, but i feel worse coming away from that than i did before it, i had 6 sessions before she dropped me. If anything it just makes me feel even more like a lost cause but atleast now i know not to bother with the therapy and getting better meme. There is no help for some people.

>>38930453
I have a hard time opening up to people, she was with me for 6 sessions before calling it a day. These are only 1 hour sessions a week. I guess you're right though but i would have found it impossible to lay everything out on the table in that short amount of time. In this case I couldn't have really done anything.

>>38930777
Okay, what you've told in those 6 sessions?

We mostly talked about anime and my waifu. Basically pic related.

>Be therapist
>Job is mainly about talking with a patient about themselves and their problems, and offering solutions
>have a client that won't talk about himself
>SO I WAS WATCHING ANIME THE OTHER DAY, AND I THINK I HAVE A NEW WAIFU...
>but what about yourself, anon? what else have you been up to?
>U-UH
>anything you want to say besides that?
>well, uh.... no

I wonder why they couldn't help. Hmmmmmm....

You got baited into that kek, someone pretending to be me said that and you took it. Anyway, I suffer from agoraphobia so we went through a lot of things as to where this stems from and where social anxiety stems from, a lot about past life. The sessions were mostly awkward but she gave me things to do like take small walks outside and at the time when I spoke with her I felt as if I could do it but when she was gone I never managed to go outside once in the end it felt very roundabout and I she could see it wasn't having an effect on me so ended it I guess. I don't think there's anyway I'll get over this anxiety, it completely controls me and everything I do. It's the forefront of everything, nothing anyone says or suggests makes a difference and it's only getting worse really.

>>38931076
Oh, sorry. I didn't know that was bait. guess i'll go die now.

anyway, it sounds pretty rough. i hope you find the courage to overcome soon my friend.

How did you go to a therapist if you're agoraphobic?

>>38931155
They came to me for home visits, this was set up through my doctors and a social services team who came out to my house but the therapist was still a private therapist I paid sessions for and wasn't through healthcare

Regardless, point is unless your problems don't run very deep or you have normie tier relationship problems therapists won't really help. What can they tell you that will just lift the veil. They aren't magicians, all they can do is encourage you but if you're too far gone it's a waste of time to begin with, I feel like unless you actively seek help early on there is no such thing as help anymore, either you solve it yourself or not at all, I can't help myself though so idk

>>38930331
this is basically
>huh? just...don't be sad
Actual anxiety is a deep psychological issue, that's not just put away by rationalizing the situation

t.anxietyanon

>>38930243
I have the same issue anon

apart from that, I've also got trust issues, in my country, if a therapists wants to, he can basically destroy your life, get you detained etc.
how to get over that, how do I even talk to someone with the power to take my freedom if he feels like I'm a danger to myself, or if he just doesn't like me?
