I'm going to start therapy in a week. Intensive Cognative Behavioral Therapy Basically will help me deal with worrying, anxious behavior, and focusing on tasks. ------------------ The Problem I'm scared to tell my gf, though I hinted at it, becuase I think it will make her think I'm fucking ridiculous and crazy. this is part of the therapy, to get over the above way of thinking, but until I get over it, wtf do I do? I guess I can hide it till I get a bit better, I won't see her for a few more weeks. Yeah, hide it, get better, learn how to not flip out, then tell her I am better? I'm so scared, but this therapy should help, but mother fucker, anyone else done this therapy? help?.......... |

Wait a sec... I would think your gf would be supportive - you're trying to improve yourself - it's a noble cause. Why not just tell her the truth? Sorry to sound like Dr. Phil but that's what I think. |

Therapy is a good thing. No need to be ashamed of it. Its people who dont seek help to aid their problems who have issues... Therapy made me all the more better. In the end what it comes down to is finding peace with yourself. |

>>> do NOT takethis the wrrong way >>> but it seems verry amerrican to seek out help forr shyness no matterr how crronic, herre in the UK we don't go to see the doctorr untill the cancerr has turrned us black. |

its not just shyness..... that only a small simptom of what depression is.. I think that is such bullshit trying to claim that people in the U.K are harder then people in America.. just my 2 cents anyway People have emotional problems everywhere you go, its a world problem, and as the years pass its becoming worse and worse. |

Make sure they never see the "how to get a girl..." thread or they will just flip up your skull-cap and use a Braun hand blender. :-) Try to swing it to the chick as "sensitive but courageous guy goes bravely exploring the depths of his psyche", not as "they hit me with a ruler whenever I bite my nails". |

stop saying mother fucker every two sentences should help... therapy is a big joke, find the answers alone seriously thats my thinking |

oh yeah.. you can really gage how sane somehow is on what he/she writes on a mb.. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

what bullshit. therapy can help people. lots of people can't find "the answers" because lots of them don't even really know what the questions are. and thats where therapy can help. |

whatever you do, dont take their pills! |

CBT is a real good therapy technique...best of luck, mate; hope it helps you out...I'm sure it will, I hear nothing but good about it... Perhaps talk to the people there about how to mention this to your gf, no need to tell her before you are ready really... and people, don't confuse CBT with lying on couch type Therapy...totally different things...CBT is all about learning new thinking & coping techniques....I've a theory most people could benefit from it... |

or else youll look like bryce's avatar. I have never taken any medication, just simple therapy and working out my problems, with therapy its not like someone can take controll of you and do everything for you glass eater, which a lot of people think therapy is, YOU alone have to work out your problems, so you are finding the answers out by yourself, but with a little guidance. People cant read eachothers minds, or control other people, not yet anyway, so its all up to you how you benefit from therapy. And will power has a lot to do with it |

BTW I had CBT therapy and it was the best thing that I have ever decided to do for myself. |
||||||||

|
good words, MM... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yeah, like jand said, wait till you're ready... but you shouldn't be embarressed... I mean, if she thought you were a loser for going to therapy, would you really want to be with her? I don't think you have any reason to be embarressed, and if she just all of a sudden changed her opinion about you because she heard you were going to therapy, well, she ain't a very good person in my books... but, if she's supportive, you know you got a keeper! :) |

you put the biggest smile on my face with regards to what you said about CBT I am going to do this to aquire the tools to control my anxious behavior and focus myself on the tasks at hand. ----------------------- I think I'm going to tell gf when I am deep into it or almost done, not before, kinda don't wanna jinx myself or this relationship. should start therapy next week, I'll let you know if it helps the way I need it to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

you have almost convinced me to go on CBT therapy. you should be happy you get therape, and your gf should be happy about it as well. i know i need it but the possibilities for decent therapy up here are not so big - depression and mental illness are big problems in finland so the lines can be like 2 years. private clinics are full booked too. this is the worst; it makes me feel like there is no-one to help. talk to your gf, she will understand if she is worth it. such a cliche but cliches are often true :) |
||||||||

|
|
i hear you, maybe you should make a trip somewhere to get intensive therapy? It should only take 1-2 months, maybe part of school if you are still in school? ------------------------- I'm not going to tell her till I have started and know it's helping, or till after if she is to ask. I don't even know if I will bring it up, but I can't wait to start. |
||||||||
|

it's not like you're having yourself committed, man. it's just therapy. just explain to her that you have alot of little problems in general, and that in order to be the best boyfriend you can, you need to go to therapy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wish I could just get this over with. I think I'm going to go back to school early and fucking start this therapy shit as soon as I can. I want to be past this part of my life. especially past the need to complain every 14 seconds. damn |
