Hey all after some opinions. AIBU that therapy is not going to help me?
I'm 29 and through my teens suffered from severe depression, anxiety, self harm and eating disorder and was in and out of hospital for a few years. I saw a physiatrist for 10 years and on lots of different meds and to be honest I'm not sure it did all that much.
Im at the stage where I break down into tears every other day and my anxiety is maybe getting worse. I'm a healthy weight but my disordered eating thoughts and body image never changed and I just hate it.
AIBU to think I shouldn't bother. It's going to be a lot of expense and I just don't think after 10 years talking and and another 10ish just getting on with it I'm not sure my thoughts can change.
I see how it hurts my partner the way I talk about myself and treat myself and I really don't want it to effect our relationship but I just don't know how to change things.
I just think there is no big trauma that caused my troubles.. Maybe it is just who I am?
If you think I am being ridiculous what are your suggestions? Am in London, not my home country so not even sure if I decided to see someone if I should go through dr or is private better?
Thanks if you have read it all x
