Thank you, sorry, I'm not meaning to come across as defensive its just hard for me to talk about this especially because its something that when you boil down to it I chose to do even if I forced myself to do it, so I feel like I could easily get judged for that.
What’s holding you back from getting treatment?
Yep, we can sell ourselves short with all sorts of ideologies and cognitive distortions. Cut yourself some slack though eh? You can grow from here. It sounds like you are the kind of guy who is not going to be happy with anything shallow and superficial. Regardless of what you can expect from any.kind of labelling, you need to develop a sense of self direction based on a holistic framework, as in learning to listen to what your body is communicating to you, what kinds of distorted thinking and self judgement you are indulging in and what kinds of expectations you have of yourself and others.
Agreed. It could be taken that way, I hope not though. I agree that that would be distorted and hypochondriac kind of jumping to conclusions.
Nothing, I'm literally just waiting until I get done with school in a week to start so I can continue uninterrupted for three months rather than having to find someone new once I get back home, I just did this as a starting point for when I get back not trying to self diagnose in any way or get validation like some people seem to be implying.
I think honestly I have my irrational thinking about the past mainly under control, I'm just gonna seek out counsel once I get back home so that I can start healing from the guilt and paranoia and symptoms I have from the event and events I associate with it, again not trying to self diagnose the less sever the condition the better, this isn't something I want to be dealing with.
Dudette I'm not looking for blind support, but honestly I didn't find
Dudette I felt from your comment your were belittling what I had to say and if anything dissuading me from getting treatment or talking to others because what I experienced "wasn't bad enough" for your standards, I don't need you to agree with me, but I didn't post here to be judged on my actions, I can't change what I did in the past only try to do whatever it takes to fix it and ensure a better future.
Great! Have you started to make calls to get an appointment scheduled? Sometimes people can be booked out a few weeks, and some of your symptoms sound pretty troublesome.
Still trying to find the right person, all the different labels/practices, like cognitive behavioral therapy, confuse me and I'm unsure of whether I should do a group setting or one on one, any input would be very appreciated.
