Hi sarahk,

It might not be helpful or reassuring to you to think you might be suffering from something like that, as it is to me. Also I am not saying you are – I am not a professional and don’t know you so I really can’t tell. I was only suggesting that in case you find it interesting to look into that, but of course it doesn’t necessarily apply to you.

I do encourage you to try and speak to a therapist in any case, because it appears to me that you are stuck in a thought pattern which is making your life difficult and speaking to a professional can really help with that. It absolutely does not mean you are crazy or helpless or have any kind of disorder.

I see it as simply shortening the amount of time you spend stuck in a pattern, because your issues might resolve themselves eventually, but it will probably take you longer to get to that point then it would take if you saw someone. And in the meantime you are not feeling too good so it’s just too bad to go through that all by yourself.
This is how I see it anyway.
