Anyone to anxious and depressed to see a therapist?

[ExitTheMatrix]

My condition been getting alot worse, I have developed severe anxiety and depression where I don't get out anymore...to the point where it affects my ability to seek therapy.
Anyone else to anxious and depressed to take the first step?

I think the first step is definitely one of the hardest. There's not really an easy way to do it other than just forcing yourself to take the plunge

I probably need therapy now. That is after years of having therapy I didn't need. It's left me traumatised but I shouldn't blame them I should blame myself. Still I wouldn't really want to walk back into that same office, it would set me off. If anyone needs advice on how to ruin their life I'm the person to ask. I did a stellar job whether consciously or unconsciously. Made life absolutely impossible

The way I see it, being that anxious or depressed is proof I need one.

Unfortunately, actually finding one is a different story altogether. I have no idea where to even look right now. Googling free therapists just seems like I'd get sketchy results to be honest.

@Mr2005 How did Therapy make your more traumatized? It's kind of messed up that the word therapy if you put space between that word becomes the rapy... WTF. Therapy is also expensive and it seems like you will be only go in circles not really going anywhere just so they can milk money out of you or reprogram you only to mess you up more...ctb is a cheaper and more effective way to solve problems at the end of the day. It's sad but true.

That's it. We went round in circles year in year out. I was only doing it for other people. I thought maybe they'd do what I wanted in return but they didn't. I wasn't taken seriously and I didn't give them reason to. I needed to man up, do it myself and prove them wrong but I didn't until it was too late. I lost track of time and came out with more problems than I went in with. I couldn't allow to happen what I'd just allowed to happen. There's no way to describe it other than something switched in my brain and it was actually given significance. Not by them though. You'd think maybe they would have put it in some terms that panicked me. That is if they knew what they were doing. I really feel I was just pissing around and someone needed to bring me back to reality before it was going to be too painful to deal with. They all could have helped quite easily if they'd really cared but it wouldn't have been considered professional. Well screw that. Having been through it I think their arrogance gets the better off them. I think however crazy someone may appear they should listen to what they're saying and not think they know best. They might just need a hug for example. I dismissed myself from all of it but of course who do I talk to about it now? I've done everything ass backwards

My advice is to try it, if that's what you want and you're willing to put the will to it so that it's not traumatic maybe. There are very different professionals among them, it is difficult sometimes to find who you feel comfortable with but if you feel you need it do not hesitate to seek help.
I hope you have a lot of luck and what you were saying makes you feel better

It was all set up. Your not ass backwards, the whole world is.

I'm skeptical but I will give it one shot. If I immediately feel like it's a waste of time I'll stop. Atleast I'll know that I have tried that option.
