Seeking help
Hello everyone I am new to the community and this app. I actually happened to hear about it through social media and I decided I would test the waters. I’m currently interested in seeing my family doctor and getting a therapist recommendation. Thankfully my parents are willing to help cover expenses sense they acknowledge the fact that they weren’t the best parents growing up and want to do everything they can to help me. I’ve decided to seek professional help because I’m tired of feeling like my feelings don’t matter. Any negative emotion I feel especially towards a loved one I practically tell myself that I’m overreacting and I don’t have a right to be upset over something this small. I’m in a new relationship and I constantly have to fight myself when it comes to sharing with him how I feel, especially if he’s done something to upset me. I never want to allow him to own up to his own wrong behavior, I’d rather take the blame. Anyways he’s the most kind, understanding and patient man I’ve ever met and fully supports my decision in seeking professional help.
Hi! I am so happy that you have decided to seek help with your anxiety. There is nothing wrong with taking the steps necessary to grow within. What I have learned is that I have to acknowledge the things that bother me even in my relationships because, I spent so much time taking the blame for things and holding in my feelings that I began to feel small. Allow yourself to feel those feelings and make it known to your partner when things bother you. Trust me you will feel much better especially since you know that he is patient and truly cares.
