hello everyone,i don't know this is the right forum or not. i just need someone to talk about my problems and understand how i feel (because my family don't want to understand). so I'm 20 years old from Indonesia,I'm not working or go to college because of my anxiety. and it's stress me a lot :crying:
My problems are every times i talk with new people (even with my friends) i become very shy and awkward. and when i talk with people i always fear to make mistake and always think "am i do/talk something stupid? am i boring?" something like that. And this is make me avoid to meet new people or in a social situation. Second,every time i have problems i always think too much and it make me anxious. and in the end i always run for my problems. FYI since I was a kid i always avoid or running for my problems,for me it's had to face it.
I already seek a psychiatrist,she said i have anxiety,little bit of social phobia and depression because i have no self-confidence. she give me some medicine and she said we'll have therapy called CBT. We already have 3 sessions but it's only once a month. i feel better in the first month,but after 3 sessions i feel that i don't make any progress. My question is, is it right we only meet once a month? i heard CBT is very tiring and you have to make bond with your therapist. How many times you meet your therapist? am I not avoidant? (because i always feel I'm an avoidant). Thanks for reading this,I really need someone to talk. And sorry for my english,hope you understand what I'm saying.
