Personal Issues i cant overcome??
Question:
Answers:
I have found both through personal and professional experience that people cannot overcome some things on their own and it helps a great deal in overcoming life's hurdles by having someone with whom you can talk to, whether that person is a family member, close friend, or a therapist. It is important that the individual listens to you, believes in you and offers hope when you do not hold your own hope.
If you are having trouble finding support in your life, I suggest that you seek out a competent and compassionate therapist. From my experience as a therapist, I have received a great deal of help and support by seeing my own therapist, that offers support and guidance when no one else does.
Best of luck to you.
Well, you are on the right path. Hopefully your psyh can help you to deal with your anxiety. One thing though...in order for therapy to help you need to have a positive attitude.
Instead of "I CAN'T overcome" try saying to yourself, "I am working on overcoming". Mindset matters.
Well done for seeking help - but don't expect a magic wand from your psych. You have to be prepared to look at yourself honestly and to work hard at your issues. You have to be at a point in your life where you have had enough of your problems controlling your life, and want to change it around. It may take months, or even years before you feel you've got a handle on it - but it WILL be worth all the effort in the long run. Start by making a note of all the POSITIVES in your day - whether it's something small like someone smiling at you, offering you a drink, texting/phoning you - everything. And tell yourself that you don't need to be giving yourself such a hard time - you don't need to be so anxious - maybe it's a protective mechanism that used to be there for a reason, but you don't need it anymore. Good luck. I wish you well.
First, I think you have alot of normal 16 year old insecurities. Some of these thoughts are normal for your age and just being a teenagers.
Remember one thing, most people in the world don't have time to look or think about others because they are too busy with themselves.
But being in therapy will be helpful, especially for dealing with your paranoia. Tell your therapist. Meds might also help if you really feel that your paranoia is interfereing with your life.
just tell your psychologist and see what he or she can do. if you're already getting help, you should be asking this question to them, rather than us. Good luck
