I have anxiety (only around certain things) the doctor gave me Xanax for anxiety but I DON'T take them at all n I just don't want to! Now the doctor wants me to see a counselor and talk about it & what could trigger it but I just don't have the want nor the energy in my busy life to go sit down with someone who obviously probably won't help me I went to a counselor before and that was a waste of time and money and Wasn't any help!!! I havnt had any anxiety lately and it's been good I been calm the past couple of months.... my SO helps to calm me down n everything I feel good ugh idk I'm scared to go n it be a was of time and money I might just go once or twice to shut the doctor up n call it a day I don't like talking to people about my issues when I'm fine opinions *please be mindful and kind with the comments*

Counseling will never work for a person who isn't willing to let it help. That's how it works. Always. No matter what. If you go in thinking "I don't want to be here. I'm just wasting money and time," then you will get absolutely nothing out of it. There is also nothing wrong with taking Xanax. Millions of people take Xanax every day.

Yeah I just wanted to make it clear that there isn't anything wrong, because the reason that most people refuse to take medication for mental health reasons is because of the stigma surrounding them. Most people think that I'd you need meds for your mental health then you are just a crazy person, and that's not true.

The way I see it is that it will never work if you go into it with the mindset that you seam to have.

did you have that mindset of its not going to work when you went into it last time? Also every doctor has different approaches

You have to want help to get help otherwise it's a waste of time
