if i ever go see a therapist again and they start telling me that im anxious because i don’t go out of my room im gonna stare at them until my stare makes their head explode.
perhaps me saying i have « « « « SOCIAL ANXIETY » » » » was not enough for you to understand that i cant interact with anyone.
they be telling me to do the dumbest shit ever "how about you go to the gym? fun right!" hide. run. because i am going to hang myself right in front of you. "if you can’t go to the gym then u should take a 15 min walk everyday in your neighborhood!!" now i’m shooting myself, gun to my head, you say one more thing and i will jump from the roof
i’ve seen around 10 psychologists and psychiatrists, they always say the same thing.
mind u in 2023 i had a really bad ed i was in my peak era #skinny #depressed, and i went to see a therapist. it was the first time i ever opened up about my ed, i looked like a fucking corpse bc of how skinny i was and she told me :
"i mean i get taht you’re scared of calories but you gotta make sense— eating one meal is not that deep. it won’t kill you, plus everyone wants to go on a diet you’re not special, you’re just a teenage girl! here i have this app to count ur calories~"

GIRL WHAT THE HELL IM??? SMITE HER ASS THE FUCK IS GOING ON
Lowk tho I had the same issue with me childhood psychologist bro literally denied that I could have autism so hard my family doesn't believe me anymore and think I fake anything I do for attention it's so fucking annoying,,
their initial message is true but it's like so badly phrased, I think you should ditch the gym idea honestly they always smell bad anyway you'd be more worried about your nose's functionality more than your fear of people...
I started getting better by going to somewhat isolated spaces like hidden spots in parks this way you can experience the outside world withot worrying about people approaching, then build it slowly through interacting with animals snd kids, just waving hi is enough, it starts to get better slowly, you could also try just donating a bit to people on the street and they'd thank you or dhow appreciation, that helped me boost my confidence a little
But yeah everybody experiences social anxiety in different ways in any case if it's VERY severe and you think you genuinely can't handle social interaction at all I'd suggest into more experienced clinics because those are often specific and they could prescribe you medicine like mine did

GIRL SAME! when i was a kid my dad brought me to a therapist cuz i was so fucking scared of my dad after he kidnapped me and hit me, this crazy ahh woman say the most stupid shit i’ve ever heard in my life. idk why therapists are the way they are. especially with kids. they always dismiss wtf they’re experiencing bc they are children. if you had told abt ur family situation to ur therapist i bet they would’ve brushed it off like crazy. it’s like children or even teens are not valid to feel things or even self diagnose themselves ( take it with a graint of salt tho LOL, don’t go diagnose urself with bipolar or sum shit like that, but depression, eds, anxiety is easy to recognize and self diagnose )
ik their initial message is like — the more u stay inside ur comfort zone the less you’ll feel comfortable with talking to people. but they don’t give tips on how to get better, you know? ..
i still wanna try going to the gym because i wanna lose weight and i’ve been bedrotting for so long, i have such bad sedentary lifestyle it’s genuinely CRAZY . it’s a ladies only gym and it only smells like food inside bc it’s near fast foods, i would NEVER go to an usual gym, i would’ve kms lmao. i’ll go to the gym once i move out from my mom’s house, i even get anxiety from the thought of her knowing i go to the gym
im so glad you got better !! i hope u healed enough for u to be able to do so many fun things. i’m so jealous of extroverts people who don’t even feel an ounce of shame when they interact with ppl…
see u gave me good tips, taking small steps and exposure therapy is the way to get better, it’s not easy but if i don’t try i’ll genuinely develop like agoraphobia or smth and it’ll get so fucking worse . i’ll do my best ! i can’t really go to a clinic, but i’ve just started a treatment for depression and anxiety, i’ll see how it goes. it’s a start at least
it would help in most cases, like exposure therapy type shit, but that’s not what they’re saying, they’re dismissing how destructive social anxiety is and how it affects one another. they aren’t helping us by giving us some tips or saying hey small steps do this or that, they’re saying like babe you’re anxious bc u don’t go out. go and voila !

Did your therapist never told you to go to a psychiatrist to get on meds? My therapist never really expected me to get better until i got on my meds. Honestly i don't understand how therapy can be so expensive when this is all they say like no shit capitan obvious im anxious which makes me not wanna go out and the more I don't go out the more anxious I get and just going out isn't going to help because the anxiety is still there you're just anxious and outside now

na, i was on meds at 16 but my mom made me stop since she didn’t like it. everytime i went out of my way to get a new therapist they’d talk abt my parents and that pissed me off so much that i would stop after a few sessions. they couldn’t understand why i didn’t want to talk to my father or anyone in my family anymore. one of my old therapist genuinely REACHED OUT to my dad whom i have no talked since i was 10 year old. just bc i told her i wasn’t in contact w him anymore, she was sad and dismissed everything he’s done to me cuz he’s my daddy!!!!
anyway, what i’m saying is i stopped caring and tried to be in denial. 100€ every week is way too fucking much especially if they’re just sweet talking to me.
i prefer seeing a psychiatrist, taking meds, and go on with my life. but even they don’t understand shit lol
It's actually kind of unbelievable because there was a time i would literally never go out of bed not even to shower... GLORIOUSKINGKABRU
girl ik being depressed sucks so hard u just a stinky bum and everyone hates on u cuz u can’t take care of urself . i’m so glad and proud of u for being able to change ur life, at least now u can go out and eat ice cream whenever u want #goal

I thought it was illegal for therapists to talk to your guardians about what you say or might believe
I wonder how many people need to kill themselves before therapy becomes affordable

THANK YOU I hope so much healing for you too being depressed is low-key so humiliating like damn i could be three seconds away from killing myself and all others gaf about is the fact I'm irritable....

or that u don’t shower…. like OKAY i know im stinky tf you think i like being dirty or sum they should be glad we’re just bedrotting and not killing ourselevs, i don’t think us not having a proper hygiene routine is affecting you in any way bruh
Sometimes I feel like psychologists don't even consider social anxiety as a real disorder that actually exists, judging by the stupidest "advice" they usually give people like us.
like it’s not even just them. everytime i speak up abt my social anxiety people brush it off like it doesn’t exist. then they get upset because i refuse to see them, BITCH I CANT!!!! or they say like "but i’m your friend!" yeah okay my disorder suddenly disappears because you and i are close, oh my god baby im cured thank you…
nobody understands social anxiety and im genuinely gonna lose it soon. ofc it’s an unhealthy situation, the more we stay inside the less we will be able to get rid of the anxiety but it’s not our fault, like id LOVE to be able to do whatever i want, go oustide and not feel like my heart is about to burst out of my chest, but i just C A N T.
exactly what my psychiatrist told me. the last time i saw her she told me "you better go out~ you’re so pale haha, stand under the sun you’ll feel better! that’s why you’re so mentally ill, you just need to go outside more " i can’t do this shit anymore yall that’s it wait until the full moon comes i’ll transform in my alpha form
and if they don’t say that shit then they talk abt my family situation. why are you talking about my mother when i keep saying she is ABUSIVE???? HELLO THE LIGHTS ARE HOME BUT NO ONES HOME???!!!
when i say she’s abusive he goes : hey. i’m no one to judge~ you should set your boundaries and have a healthy talk with her.
no, no i won’t kill myself alone, i’ll bring a bazooka and we will go in hell together. hold my fucking hand

But also my issue was i would never ever go out
I still can't talk to people tho
