The fuck?
OP,
seek professional help. Find a therapist. Can't afford one? Fuck you,
yes you can. Look into community counseling. Lots of universities offer
it. Can't find one? Just call up a therapist and ask if there are any
places that offer it on the cheap. You need help. Don't be afraid to
seek it.
Also, if you don't like your therapist or if they're
doing a shitty job drop them and find a new one. Shitty therapists
exist, just like shitty doctors. If your anxiety has become unmanageable
then ask about being referred to a shrink as well for meds.
Medication
is by no means a substitute for therapy, nor should it be treated as a
permanent solution. A lot of people call pscyh drugs a crutch, and
that's not far from the truth, because who the fuck uses crutches?
People who can't fucking walk on their own. You ditch it once it's no
longer necessary.
TLDR: Find therapist, ask about price scale,
ask for referral to cheaper one if too much. I pay $25 a session for a
guy who's still interning and he's helped me immensely.
One more
thing: YOU are primary determinant of the success of your therapy. Be
willing to look at yourself starkly and think very hard about what's
true about you. It will be painful but you will come out stronger on the
other side. |
