I just want to get over it already

[Anonymous_12343]

I have always felt this constant anxiety. I feel it when I'm alone or when I'm with others. It doesn't matter if I'm with my closest friends, with my family, with strangers, with acquaintances or even alone. I always feel as if I'm doing something wrong.
Lately, I've started crying even without a reason. I usually cry at night, in my bed, when no one hears me and because of this, the next day, I'm exhausted.
I always feel like everything about me is wrong.
Sometimes I starve and skip meals to slim down, and sometimes I eat a lot when no one can see me. don't know what's wrong with me. It always seems like people around me look at me as if I'm a burden. I don't know if it's me, if It's just an impression, or if it's the truth. I've started to get down even if someone jokes and the things that made me laugh, once, now make me overthink about myself even more. The slightest mistake makes me think about how a burden I am. I am afraid of disappointing everyone.
I rely on fictional worlds where I can control whatever happens and where anything can hurt me.
I thought about asking for a psychologist but I feel guilty because there are people who suffer from traumas or the loss of someone important and I feel like I'm disrespecting them.
How can I do? I'm tired of feeling like this and I just wanna feel happy.

If you have never gone to a therapist I highly recommend going. When you find one you click with it’s an amazing thing. We all struggle for different reasons but your struggles aren’t any less important than someone else’s. I actually had issues opened up with my last therapist because I felt silly bringing up my anxieties because I felt they weren’t as valid as someone else’s. I found a therapist I click with and fully open up with her and it’s great.

I don't know... it's just that I've always been told that I don't need a psychologist. I feel like I'm crying over myself too much

I understand. I have someone very close to me who needs one but won’t go because of bad prior experiences. All I can say is try it. I think if it like a doctor. I’m physically healthy but I still go for check ups. Same thing with a therapist. We all should do it.

Thank you, really. I hope that I'll find the courage to do it. It's just that I'm not able to talk about my struggles. One thing is writing them, and one another is talking about them.
But thank you, you gave me a bit of courage

 

[am6985]

You’re welcome. Good luck. And when you do find someone research a few. You won’t always click with a therapist so don’t get discouraged if the first one you see isn’t perfect.

Considering your description, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) could be particularly beneficial for you. You can read more about it here. But shortly, CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. By working with a qualified therapist, you can learn practical techniques to manage your anxiety and improve your overall well-being.
Reaching out for professional help is not a sign of weakness but a courageous step towards reclaiming your happiness. You deserve to feel happy and at peace. So don't be afraid to do it.

Have you ever heard of DBT?

I can help you! We can start with some background work to get to the root of the problem. We can take it from there

Not really

We can do that on here. It still comes down to whether anyone has a complete response to another's pain. It's called 'empathy'. I very much doubt if anyone can add to the advice and help given on here because we have all been there and know. That wonderful Canadian website, 'anxietycentre.com' is available to all and gives basic advice. For a very small fee one can get even more help. There is still no better help than one to one counselling, but that can be costly. Why should any treatment cost? If a practitioner has to make a living, fair enough, but I found more help from those who didn't charge. We still don't know on what method Dr. Terry's help is based and how much it will cost, if anything. It is so very important to have all the advice available about a practitioner before embarking on any treatment. None of us has all the answers, we can but point the way. Anyone in the UK can call themselves a counsellor. Do they belong to the appropriate professional organisation? How long have they been practising?

You could also try a Mental Health Counselor, as I have. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Insurance will cover some of the costs.
You really need to buy into though, and to put the effort in beating anxiety. Too many times I don't and then take a step back.
I guess this takes time. All I know is that I want my life back.

You can also talk to your family doctor and try medication. I was on an SSRI for many years and it really helped me. I was scared to talk to the doctor about it, but it turns out it was no big deal.
