I starting seeing a therapist around april. I see her every 2 weeks. I won't lie it's not easy; she makes me examine things I'd rather not think about, but she's trying to help me deal with things & then discard. It wouldn't hurt to check it out.
Also talk to your family doctor he should be able to give you the name of a therapist and possibly something to help in the meantime. My doctor gave me a small dose of Xanax, I take half a pill when i begin to feel "overwhelmed".
I also wanted to add that there is nothing wrong with you. Everyone processes things differently & you are not abnormal or crazy. You might also be a Highly Sensitive Personality (it's not what it sounds like). When my therapist suggested this I did lots of research on it & found it describes me to a T. Check out this website it might help. P.S. my dog also has HSP, which I find a little funny. I hope you find the answers you're looking for. The Highly Sensitive Person |
If you answered more than fourteen of the questions as true of yourself, you are probably highly sensitive. But no psychological test is so accurate that an individual should base his or her life on it. We psychologists try to develop good questions, then decide on the cut off based on the average response.
