I see a psychologist for GAD and other issues. I don't really enjoy going to be honest my parents sort of made me go even though I'm 19. So anyways, I keep to myself quite a lot with almost everyone in my life. Now my therapist is trying to push me so I can tell her how I feel and she's given me homework in which I have to share my raw thoughts. Honestly I have a lot of thoughts but I'm so embarrassed to share them with her because it just makes me feel like theres something wrong with me. Like if I write down "I was afraid to talk to my relative when we went out" thats going to make me feel SO childish about myself. I just can't admit the things I'm afraid of.
What should I do? |

AnxiousGirl, I totally understand how difficult it is to share our thoughts and I would not advise doing that with family or friends, but a therapist is trying to help us out of a deep hole, like depression. If we fight it we can delay progress for years.
Why not start doing the exercise about why you don't want to do the exercise. That is a place to start. Questions like "What are the worst things that could happen" usually gets me going.
