How to talk to someone
Hello. I've been dealing with bad social anxiety and depression for a while now. I have always been somwhat of a loner and a pessimist, however things seem to be getting worse as i can no longer enjoy things that I used to love, like reading and studying. My parents don't really care about my problems so I'm left on my own. Thing is I can barely talk to the people I know, can't even think about talking to a stranger without freaking out. I don't know how to seek help when I physically can't talk to a doctor.
Writing stuff down and printing it / bring going it in to the doctor is what helped me the most so far. It circumvented my mind blanking, by writing it down whenever I could think, and then all I had to do was shakily hand over reaper to the doctor, or eventually read off the paper. Mood tracking apps help me a lot also, like Moodtrack, Flow, or the journal right here on 7 cups. If you have anyone you really trust that you can bring to the doctors, even just to stand outside, it might help a lot!
Thank you, that might be a good idea considering I love writing. I have tried writing down my feelings before, but quickly gave up out of fear that someone might read my writings. Showing that to a doctor would be easier than simpky talking about it and that alone helps a lot.
