I first went because I was self-harming, suicidal, had constant anxiety and/or panic attacks, was incredibly scared of being abandoned by my friends but was also running to my friends with all those issues. Those friends also recommended I start therapy.

I told my T at our first session, he asked why I'm there and I was honest about it.

Most of these issues still pop up in therapy now after 2.5 years. Anxiety is a bit less since I'm on meds now. But there's also other things we discuss now, most related to trauma.
