i finally started therapy last november because my social anxiety ha gotten too big to deal with and i feel stuck i thought it wa going well therapist understood my problem anxiety ha been my reality for year so i guess changing my mindset is a slow process and all that but a few week ago my mom told me i should try to talk with a few other therapist because she doesn t think i m not really making progress and she also doesn t like that my therapist ha suggested anxiety med and antidepressant which i m not on right now because it s like she s dismissing me she said this got me thinking that i truly don t know what the best path is because you trust your therapist you aren t the one who studied psychology so you assume she obviously know better so i thought i d try to ask people here who went to therapy and got rid of anxiety what should i expect i didn t expect my therapist to say a bunch of magic word and cure me but is it really anxiety is never going to go away you can just learn to handle it better just make yourself suffer by putting yourself in situation that cause you anxiety until you get used to it and take med to help if you want to because that s depressing i know i might sound whiny but having to make all the work myself make me lose all motivation and i just wan na off myself because i don t actually get used to stuff i ve taken the bus a million time in my life and yet i m still anxious every time i have to take it i feel like i can t win i thought that therapist would at least help a little bit because what am i paying her for telling me to accept that i can t control everything because risk is a part of life and to take a walk everyday because i could ve realized that by myself

Finalmente empecé la terapia el pasado noviembre porque mi ansiedad social se ha vuelto demasiado grande para lidiar con y me siento atascado pensé que iba bien terapeuta entendió mi ansiedad problema ha sido mi realidad durante años supongo que cambiar mi mentalidad es un proceso lento y todo eso pero hace unas semanas mi mamá me dijo que debería tratar de hablar con un par de otros terapeutas porque ella no piensa que realmente no estoy haciendo progresos y ella también no le gusta que mi terapeuta ha sugerido ansiedad med y antidepresivo que no estoy en este momento porque es como si me despidiera me dijo que esto me hizo pensar que realmente no sé cuál es el mejor camino porque confías en tu terapeuta que no eres el que estudió psicología así que supones que ella obviamente sabe mejor así que pensé que podría tratar de preguntar a la gente aquí que fue a la terapia y se deshizo de la ansiedad qué debería esperar que no esperara que mi terapeuta dijera un montón de palabras mágicas y me curara pero es que realmente ansiedad nunca va a ir más lejos sólo puedes aprender a manejarlo mejor solo hacerte sufrir por ponerte en situación que te causa ansiedad hasta que te acostumbras a tomarte la ayuda si quieres porque s de la ema
