Should I See A Doctor?

I was heavily bullied in high school, and thought about suicide. I am now 19. I went through a very emotionally abusive relationship before moving back in with my parents. I don’t have a great relationship with my mom and it makes me very anxious and miserable most days.

I’m having trouble wanting to go to school or do anything. I’ve been sleeping for a minimum of 10 hours a day and I’m still tired. I don’t want to find a job, I have trouble keeping a job because I don’t like being around people. It makes me very anxious.

I push most people away because I’m so anxious and don’t like feeling like I’m unaccepted. Most days are a struggle to keep my mind positive and try to envision a future.

I want to be happy but I know that as long as I live at home with my parents it’s going to be impossible. What should I do? Should I see a doctor?

Hi,

A therapist may be the person to see, they can help more with behavioral issues.

Happy is sometimes a high mark to achieve, and the only thing in your way is you. In most cases perception becomes reality, so something is impossible only because I said it is. I work towards contentment and sometimes happiness follows.

Yes, you should. You need some therapy to work through all this. Please make an appointment ASAP to get started on taking your life back. You deserve a happy one.

Is therapy worth the money?

Well, what is your happiness and peace worth? Most likely, you won't work this out on your own. That's nothing against you personally - everyone with problems like this needs professional support to get their lives back on track. If you don't have insurance, do a search for low-cost clinics in your area.

Therapy would be a great way to start. It is very beneficial, in my opinion, and will help you work through your past and help you create a new normal. A positive normal. Being happy will take time but it's definitely achievable. Low cost clinics are available in most areas so that's what I'd do if I were you.

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely start looking into it. Do you know if most insurance covers therapy?

Yes most do but definitely ask the provider what insurance they take. Will save you a lot of time and frustration. :)
