I dnt knw what i need
Let me start off by saying that I dnt knw exactly what I need I don’t know if I need to see a therapist I do know I need someone who does more then listen to me I need someone to listen and tell me what it is I’m needing. Because I honesty don’t know. I do know that I’m afraid that I’m sad and that my anxiety gets so bad that I have finally reached out to this. Whatever this may be. I talked to someone for over an hour amd all he made me feel like is it’s someone who wants to get all the info and then leave. Like my ex would have his friends girl friends be friend me just so I would confide in them my feelings and thoughts then they would give the info back to my ex. That’s kind of how I felt just now that I txted and gave info just to get nothing back. I feel so lost I feel like I’m alone but not alone I feel as if the mask should have stayed on and I would have not endured what I have gone through in the last 18 plus years.
Hi there! You are definitely not alone, that I can assure you. As far as not knowing what you need or if you "need" therapy - it certainly won't hurt to connect with a therapist. I've had a therapist for the last 10 years and most times when I mention it to someone the response is along the lines of "YOU have a therapist?" so I fully encourage that direction.
All that said, sometimes we get thrown things in life that seem to big for us... Just too much to handle. Exponentially worse if we're feeling alone or disconnected. Throw anxiety on top of that and well it all seems impossible.
However, Ive found that processing through those moments. Even popping into places like this, creates a path forward. You then look back at those tough times and marvel that you navigated through and hopefully learned a bit about yourself so that next time the low isn't as low.
Just trying to be a friendly voice in this void. Hang in there!

I'm sorry if you had a bad experience with a listener here (?). Please try again, maybe with someone more experienced and suitable for what you're looking for. There are listeners here that you can browse and filter the search with keywords. It might be difficult for you to try another experience when you already expect something bad might come out of it. But getting stuck and alone is even worse, I think. I hope all the good things for your journey.
