Share Your Experience With A Therapist. by siofra(f): 11:12am On Aug 04, 2021
Hey guys,

I'm finally seeing a therapist, I realize I have a lot of mental issues I have to look into especially anxiety and I really need to talk to a professional about it, I come from a household where things like this are not taken seriously.

My parents are vaguely aware I'm dealing with these mental issues but they only refer to it when they want to ridicule me or insult me *sigh
This has affected my social life seriously, honestly, I don't know how I went from having a bubbly happy personality to this adult who gets irritated by people. I know people suck but mine is so petty my friends point it out.

I just need my positivity back, I'm tired of all the emotional and verbal abuse. 80% of Nigerian parents are very toxic but I don't know why most young Nigerians ignore it and shrug it off as nothing when in reality it affects them so much they grow up and start having all these mental issues and then they start blaming their village people and the government.

Please if you can, see a therapist today if you suspect that you have depression, anxiety, autism, etc if you don't know about them please educate yourself and see your doctor.

Anyway tomorrow will be my first session and I don't know how to act or behave, the mere thought of having to talk about my mental issues with a stranger makes me very uncomfortable but at the same time excited.

So how has your experience been with therapists? Please kindly share.

You don't have mental issues abeg...na inferiority complex with a dose of westernized stupidity dey worry you . Go and see a pastor for proper deliverance if not you'll be selling yourself into the hands of Beta-blockers and the likes Mitrazapine ,and amitriptyline. A word is enough for the wise

The one who wears the shoes, knows where it pinches.

And by the way inferiority complex requires therapy too in case in your narrow mindedness you didn't know that.

My dear depression is real, I know when depression sets in. I either start having too much sxx and too much food. It was then I knew I could be having some depressions underlying. 90% of Nigerians are depressed, forget about the clubbing. If we are not depressed, you will see alot of development individually to better our society.

Sometimes when depressed I can sex like 8 times a day just to get sleep and immediately eat again. My last gf ran away because I don't allow her sleep at night, she lost weights due to endless fvck at night.

Hmm, that was your way of coping.
So did you seek medical help?

What's the cause of your depression, they must be something you are worked or worried about.

I don't know if she can do EMDR

I'll have to ask her if that would be okay.
