Hey everyone, I’ve been struggling with anxiety for about a year now. I kind of go through phases where it won’t be bad for a little while but then all of a sudden it’ll get so bad that I can barely function and am basically in a constant state of panic. I have acknowledged that I have a problem and everyone I’ve talked to says I should definitely go to therapy but I am so scared to. I know a lot of people find comfort in telling everything to someone they don’t know but I hate the idea of it…it takes a lot for me to confide in the people I’m closest to and talking about my problems with someone I don’t know gives me even more anxiety than I already have. I’m not even sure what the purpose of this post is…I guess just looking for some encouragement to get myself to go to therapy.
