Dealing with Loneliness and Trust Issues

Thank you guys feel less anxious about today’s appointment hopefully this will help me get back to a healthier lifestyle and mindset. I really appreciate the time that was taken to respond to this ❤️🥹

It's really difficult to open up esp when you've felt like a burden or like your problems are burdensome to others. I would encourage you to be honest in your therapy session and to create boundaries in therapy when you don't feel comfortable talking about a certain subject. You can kindly say "that's really vulnerable for me to talk about and I'd prefer to talk about something else for now or I'd prefer to wait to feel out our relationship more before sharing that"

I have been going to therapy for 12 years and am in grad school to become an LMFT so I am def a proponent of therapy. I just want to commend you for starting therapy and think its amazing you're going and being brave enough to share all of your vulnerabilities even if it is outside of your comfort zone! I'd def bring this up in therapy when you are ready and feel comfortable with your therapist.

therapy has helped me SO much. it can def be scary to share those feelings with someone new, so you could even just spend that appointment sharing other aspects about yourself until you feel that you can trust them. as for the friend thing… i get that some people don’t understand it, but if you’ve tried to explain it to them and they don’t TRY to understand, they’re probably not the right person to be friends with unfortunately :/
