First time seeking psychiatric help... nervous.
Hi everyone. So for the first time ever I am finally pushing myself to get the help I need. Luckily I have a really helpful bf who has been helping with this process of finding a therapist and a psychiatrist. I am going to talk to a therapist Thursday and ask for them to recommend a psychiatrist. I strongly feel like there is an imbalance in my body (biochemically speaking). I know it’s taboo, I just feel like I seriously need something that’ll give me that extra push to just get out of bed each day. For anyone who might be experiencing same issues as me: I have very low desire to do the things I love, I think about doing them but end up getting anxious and my stomach starts doing flips and I end up sinking into the couch. It’s so hard for me to find motivation, I hate being alone. I find myself just sitting for hours and hours when there’s so many other things I know I could be doing. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I’m hoping SSRIs will help me. I don’t know why I get so anxious and the best way to describe it is paralyzing. Does anyone else have this issue? I just feel so useless... I wish I could snap out of it.
