Therapist

So I went to a psychologist and he straight up told me I was being over dramatic and I was making things worse or up in my head. I went almost begging for help and feel so helpless

I am sorry that you feel helpless. Have you tried just meditating? Soft meditation music? or keeping busy with good positive things. Things that you enjoy. During times like these it is good to take care of yourself. Have some self compassion and know that you deserve good things. Sometimes being selfish with our selves is a good thing because we can then take care of our self by doing what we want to do to help our mind escape. There are so many times recently that I have worried and got anxious over things that never ended up happening. I sat back and thought, " I was afraid and worried over something I did not even need to." You stay strong and know that you have hope and you are worthy and you are valued. Say positive things to yourself. " I am a nice human." I am good at ____." I am strong. I am valuable. This sounds petty, but saying things out loud to yourself that are positive does help. Thoughts of you.

Is it possible that what he said got misinterpreted? Did he actually use those words?? I'm not saying this to belittle you, but really think about it. Sometimes when we're stressed or have specific expectations, words that are spoken to us get warped on their way to our brain.

If you're positive that that's not the issue here, then you need to find a better therapist because what he did was just wrong. Tell him "Ciao baby!"

Your therapist sounds like my sisters when we had disagreements in our past. Sibling squabbles are so therapeutic! I have had good luck with psychologists in training because they are eager to help & please. The draw back is they move on quickly after they are trained. Maybe a female therapist would not project their feelings so much on you!
