So, I've put off therapy for a number of reasons since I initially thought I should look into it almost two years ago. I still have plenty of reservations but the other day I was thinking how I thought back then I'm too old I'm already hopeless it'd just be a waste of time. I was thinking how ridiculous a thought that was and I still feel that way now but realize in another two years I'll be mad at myself for not starting like right now.

Anyway onto my issue. I still live with my parents, I want to move out of state in a few months though (well really I want to go right now but can't) to live with my brother. But I also don't want to put off therapy for several months knowing those are months I'll never get back, months I can be getting better possibly rather than worse.

I just don't know how to do the process really and I have no one to ask. I can't tell my parents. Like I know I have anxiety and I'm depressed but I don't know which caused what. Or if I have other issues. Like can any therapist diagnose me or will I have to go to one get diagnosed then find one who specializes in whatever my issue is? And then would there be any point if I just leave in a few months anyway?

Perhaps you can invest in specific short term therapy and if you find it helpful, take it from there.
