Should I See a Therapist?

[Anonymous]

I've had really bad anxiety for the past year - to the point where most of my days are severly affected (if not every day).

I keep convincing myself that I'm okay because I'm scared of being vulnerable to a complete stranger. Should I see a therapist or what should I do?

Hi anonymous!

I can sympathise with you, I had the exact same experience last year. I knew something was wrong, but at the same time I didn't want to believe it. So I kept telling myself that it was nothing and that it was just a phase I was going through.
I wasn't until I was on the train one day and that this whole paranoia and anxiety took over. I felt as if I was being watched.
I know right there and then that I needed to see a pycshologist. It was the best decision I had made. My first session was difficult, because I didn't know how to act...
But as the sessions continue, it was great to speak to someone who will not judge you or have a biased opinion.

So my suggestion to you, is yes. You should go and see a professional, and make sure that you like them. If you don't, do not stick with them. Keep looking for a therapist until you find one that you're comfortable with.

Yes, I love therapy it's great to let it all out and confide in someone whom you trust and will sit there and listen and give you advice.

Seeing a therapist isn't a bad thinv but maybe find a friend to confide in
