I really need a therapist. But I don’t think I’ll find one in near future. And I wanna deal with my social anxiety what to do? I found out it’s a disorder today afternoon only and since then I had this strange kind of fear. I think it’s coz I think I got a disorder to fix and it’s a big deal? Idk. But it’s really difficult for me to go to mess or college where I have to face people even tho it’s been 3 months I’m living with these people. But I don’t know much people and am friends with my other 2 roommates only. 1 of our roommates had to shift her room and we grew apart somohow and she was the one I was most attached to so it was kinda difficult for me. But now I’ve moved on. Where was I? I’m shifting from one topic to another god. Ah so I was saying my heart races so fast at the very thought of going and facing people alone. One thing that helps me is dressing nicely. If I have wore something that I’m confident and comfortable in, it helps in reducing the anxiety and for the remaining part I avoid looking at anyone. I just put my airpods and go finish eating the.n come back as fast as I can. Idk.

Dude talk to someone about this
That’s the problem! I have no one to talk to about this🥲

Drop your id lets talk
Have a online consultation it will help you
And since you don’t have to meet the dr. You will also be comfortable…
The idea is good but if I told my parents I’m putting money for a meeting with a therapist, they are definitely not gonna support the idea. Yea they are the kind of parents who says “it’s all in your mind and it’s nothing you are just exaggerating your situation, stop using phone too much and you’ll be okay” 😮💨
There are many platforms you can search it through on google…
I can’t. My parents won’t support the idea😮💨

It’s ok to be not ok. I feel you. It’s hard to make connection with new people. It takes time… It take more time for you to get comfortable with other people. You said you feel good when you’re dressed well right? Well i have to break it you… you should feel good the way your are. When you stop caring about what people think bout you, you reach another level of freedom(I stole that). I used to have this problem and then i started wearing a baggy shirt, shorts and flip flops to malls, public places etc. To be honest it felt real good. Keep it real. Oh hey 👑 you dropped this.
Ikr I should love myself🥺 but I don’t. I have BDD and it’s very difficult for me to not think about what other people might be thinking. Ahhh idk I wanna change these coz I wanna live my college life fully and if I’ll shy away, I will miss and lose all the previous moments which I could have now!
Okay if money is the issue and you absolutely cannot ask your parents, here’s some things you can do:
1. Your college might have a counselor. Maybe you can talk to them until you can find a therapist.
2. Now and me has therapists listed under “Resources” and some of them are free.
3. There are some psychology colleges that offer free therapy as the student’s final year assignment. But this depends on if you’re in the vicinity of the college and if they’re willing to offer therapy to someone who’s not a student.
4. You can google, there’s free therapists and if not that there’s therapist that have a minimal fee for a monthly subscription. Much less than if you search offline. So maybe you can ask for money from your parents under some other reason like a college mandated project or something and use it for therapy.
THANKK YOUUU SO MUCHHH😭❤️
