Dear anita
Thank you for your answer.
During the last semester I went to a therapist because I felt overwhelmed with my life. Unfortunately it didn’t help much. Mostly I talked intensely bad about myself and my life circumstances. She tried her best to listen to me but didn’t give so much input. I felt more and more uncomfortable in the session. I felt especially ashamed how odd I was. Now I stopped it, because I felt like I only spiraled more and more down. It was a good decision to quit. Now I am not sure if another therapist could help me. Because I feel like I know that the issue is my own destructive thoughts that hurt my mind. I’m trying to fix them myself.
I don’t have a medical issue. Last year I was constantly stressed and under fire. I ignored my mental tension and tiredness to continue with my study. That is what I meant with neglecting my health.
Thank you for sharing about CBT. I will look deeper into that.
