Hey

I'm 22 Male

I had few mental problems the past few years but I will split them to 2 main categories.

The first one - performance anxiety that included
another thing the I developed just in age 16-17 it's speech anxiety - I'm literally shacking everytime I need to read something in front of people, if its short for like few seconds I could do it but if its more than that I physically can't do it, even if I have the courage to try, I'm like run out of air to speak after few words.
Before I will move to my second problem I just want to say that I not always was like that, I remember that as a child in elementary school I use to read in front all the school (around 200-300 people) without any problem.

My second problem - I'm really hypochondar and a lot of time I have certain symptoms I freak out and think I have some dangerous disease and start to imagine another symptoms.
Also when I face a health problem (like the sexual performance anxiety) I think about it 24/7 and it really disturb me from living life normally and I'm in a deep depression until it really go away.

So that my main mental problems, I went to few sessions of therapy but the psychologist told me I have deep anxiety problem that I could solve maybe after few years of therapy and now I obviously don't have the money for it.

So to sum up my question is - can I solve my problems without help of therapist ?
I don't care to read books, follow online programs or change daily habits of mine - anything to get rid of those problems.

Just want to say that I'm not going to try anti anxiety meds from my own reasons.

Thanks.
