Afraid of never getting better

[Alel]

I'm still 2 weeks into my new medication. I still haven't seen a psychologist and I know I need to. But I'm so scared for some reason. 

I'm also afraid that no matter how much I go to therapy, or I take care of my mental and physical health or how much coping mechanisms and healthy practices I adapt into my life, I'll always feel like there is smth wrong. Smth is off. I will always feel shitty.

Why am so afraid of trying? I feel so different from everyone around me. I can barely understand myself, I doubt anyone can understand me.

I made another post on here about all the things I still need to overcome, but I'm so scared of doing it alone, but also afraid of going to see a psychologist. 

I only saw a psychiatrist once so far and will see them in the future as well. But I never know what to say, how to act, what to do. Why is it so hard? Shouldn't I feel relieved to talk about all this after keeping it all in?

hello.

those questions you raised are perfectly natural. While I know there are people who have had issues with a therapist for many and different reasons, there are also many that would have found the right one. And, there would would be both good and bad therapists.

Psychologists are trained professionals committed to helping individuals like you. They won't lie to you or play a role; their primary goal is to support your mental well-being. You don't need to worry about them thinking you're crazy; they understand the complexities of the human mind.

Remember that seeking help is a brave and responsible step. Psychologists are there to assist you and won't make things worse. They're skilled at helping individuals navigate their emotions and challenges.
