I’m afraid to go to therapy. I’ve been before when I was around 14 years old (I’m 21 now) and I got diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and depression. My parents made me stop going because they said it was a waste of time and money and I should just “get over it”. I’m on my own now and I’ve had a boyfriend for 3 years who’ve I’ve told everything to and he’s been very supportive, but I hate dumping everything on him all the time. I get panic attacks at least once a month and I’ll be up until 3 a.m. struggling with them wishing it would stop. I realized I needed help when he was telling me he hates when he can’t talk to me because he feels bad leaving my by myself (I don’t have any friends except him). He was telling this stuff to his friends mom and he said he teared up when he was talking about it. I just texted him and told him he shouldn’t talk to me until I get better   Because it’s not fair for me to put that on him and make him feel that way. I plan on going to the psychological help center on my campus, but I’m afraid it won’t work or I’ll freeze up and not say what I need to say and I don’t know what else I can do if that happens. I didn’t mean to go off but I haven’t been able to get this off my chest.
