tw: anxiety

[PessimisticOptimist]

Okay so,

I'm pursuing a case for sexual harassment (I'm the victim) and it's giving me so much anxiety. I can't eat, I can't breathe sometimes. I tried free therapy which my university gives but the best they could come up with was "don't think negative thoughts" "don't be anxious" (thanks dude, why didn't I think of that?). I'm anxious about schoolwork, about my health, body image issues, my relationship with my boyfriend (long distance relationship), my friends.

I feel like nobody likes me for who i am. I feel like they're all friends with me because I'm funny and entertaining. This is one of the reasons I don't let anyone near me: I'm always scared of their intentions. I'm always scared that they'll be here for the good times and they'll bail once I really need them.

Anyone know what I should do?

Hello there, so I understand your situation is even more complicated. I think you are very strong because you already been through so much. Hmm, personally I like to hear some calming affirmations 3 times or even more a day. I do cry a lot, it does help me to relieve the anxiety partially and temporarily. So sometimes guided meditations can help for one reason; it guides your thinking process for a while and over the long run slowly you will little by little will be able to at least choose whether this thought is right or wrong but even if you did not reach there just be patient with your self a bit more. Hmm, depending on anxiety level some require pharmacological therapy. Yes it can be temporarily along with the appropriate psychotherapy type. So cost could be an issue. Some may borrow from others then later pay them back, some use online app like betterhelp for a cheaper price for students or if any free mental health facilities they go to. Yup we are talking about years to get better. Hmm, podcasts sometimes is engaging and may help. I pray for you to get better. I an no better than you. But I care about you. It is your very basic right to be cared for by any human. So I am writing this to you just after I cried fair enough for some problems I have.
