Hi everyone

As the title says, I have never felt so confused in my life so I thought I'd ask for your advice. So, here's the thing. I've been feeling really low for over a month now, really depressed and also extremely anxious. I have those thoughts in my mind almost 24/7, where I see myself miserable and alone for my whole life. I feel like I won't ever be able to do anything with my life and like I'm gonna be single for ever and I won't be able to have kids. I've just turned 21 and rationnaly, I know I'm not old and I have plenty of time, but I can't control those fears, I can't control my mind. Today, I talked about it to my psychologist and his reaction surprised me because he said it was perfectly normal for me to be worried and he said that all of those fears were also linked to therapy and all my problems, he said it meant that there were things that I really need to talk about. I thought I was crazy, I thought this was the end of me because I can't sleep and I can't think clearly because of those fears but he kind of reassured me.

So my question is : has it already happened to you ? Have you ever felt so anxious and scared because of all the things you brought up in therapy (csa in my case, physical and emotional abuse and self harm...) ? And if so, does talking really helped you ?

I don't know if I expressed myself clearly, but I really hope some of you will be able to help me. Thank you.
