Have you ever been to therapy, counseling, or a psychiatrist/psychologist for your mental health?

Question

If so, could you share your experience? 
I've gone twice and it was really difficult for me to speak openly without crying, even though my problems aren't even serious.

Answer

If your problems are making it hard for you to deal with your life then they are serious and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Don’t diminish your own experience and don’t let anyone else do it either. ❤️

Answer

You should really look into a YouTube series about the “professionals” in the field: Daniel Mackler- why I quit being a therapist. When I was young I did think a good therapist would help, but it wasn’t really anything better than what a good friend would offer.

Answer

I always cry the first time that I go to therapy (I seem to go for a period of time about every 3 years). For me it just feels overwhelming to finally get everything out that’s been pent up for months or years. It will get easier, just keep going!

Answer

I don't go anymore but I loved therapy. I went to my therapist for 3 years and it took some time for me to really open up to her but after a couple months talking to her became so much easier, she knows all of my deepest secrets and it was such a relief not holding things in and having someone to talk to about it. I went to a psychiatrist and hated her because she put me in the hospital but I was in high school when that happened so I still went to her cause my parents made me but once I turned 18 I kinda just stopped but that's partly cause I felt like we just didn't get along and I felt like she didn't understand me enough so she just wasn't the doctor for me.

Answer

I still go to therapy it’s the best place to let everything out there are a lot of subjects I can’t talk about without crying and do not want to discuss with anyone else but it’s great to get things out and figure out ways to move on from it and explore options

Answer

There’s no better place to let things out. It can be an amazing healing process, no matter how major or minor you view your problems.
