my anxiety and depression have gotten so bad recently. and my mom has noticed, she would like me to get a therapist but I have this weird issue where I literally can't talk about my emotions or mental issues without bursting into tears (idk why). and I hate crying infront of people so it's why I simply don't express my emotions (im basically a locked book). but obviously if i were to get a therapist i would have to talk to them because that's the point. but I know I'll breakdown. what do I do?

I'm the same way. My therapist sat with me for 30 mins of just me crying and she said it was okay, that if I wanted to just cry the whole hour I could. Going to therapy is the hardest thing I've ever done but has made feel better about the things I'm struggling with. You can do it, just be patient with yourself
ReplyMaybe it is what you need, taking that first step is hard, I have been holding back for years, when I finally talked to someone, breakdown and cry helped me with my depression. I know crying in front of people may make you feel weak but, it doesn't make you weak. I find it rather brave, for someone to admit they need help, because like you, not everyone is brave enough to do that. Maybe not expressing your emotions is a factor that has worsen your anxiety and depression. Just my personal opinion
ReplyIf you are not feeling well mentally, a therapist would definitely be a good place to start. It's not so weird to cry when talking about your emotions, especially if you are not used to sharing. I am not a professional but, you can say that I have a similar problem of breaking down when talking about something emotional. It often takes awhile for me to get much out. If you do get a therapist maybe writing your emotions down would help, like you're doing here? You could show them your writing. Or you could bring up your problems slowly. There is no need to rush with your mental heath. Open up at a rate and fashion your most comfortable with
ReplyYou write everything down and explain in writing why you are writing it instead of talking. When you have written it down on paper hand the paper to the therapist.
