I've had problems with anxiety from a young age. However, I personally think there's also a reason as to why the anxiety became increasingly worse (bullying in school, both physically and verbally). However, my parents are essentially forcing me into therapy, claiming that because they are professionals they know my feelings better than my own. Keep in mind I have only seen this therapist 3 times. I'm currently having some un diagnosed GI problems (for now) and it's actually consuming my life. I admit, I have not been to school in a month. The therapist is implying that my medical problems are pretty much nonexistent, simply because some tests have come up negative. But what she does not seem to understand is that the pain and the fainting is actually, well, kind of painful.
During the sessions, I have tried to bring up the topic of the past, yet she does not seem to take any of it into consideration.
But in response to that, she said, and I quote, "Well, that's in the past. So it doesn't matter anymore." She repeatedly tells me that she is going to get my parents involved in everything despite the fact that she has promised to keep everything confidential unless my safety was to be in danger. Every time I leave her office I break down at home, usually consumed with anger at her indifference or wanting to do something impulsive.
Anyone's thoughts will be seriously appreciated, and I apologize for the lack of structure in this post. I can always provide more details if anyone's confused.
