Hey guys, for those of you who know my story welcome back ! To those who dont ill give a bit of a back story about everything. So I'm 19 and I've been seeing a therapist for about a year now (I didn't want to go but my parents sort of made me). The first few months weren't that productive mainly because I'm pretty shy and reserved so I held a lot back. Lately I've been feeling more trusting with my T but for some reason I don't like it.. Anyways, we started doing some therapy regarding my health and ever since then I've been feeling "stupid". I dont want to offend anyone at all but I was diagnosed with GAD and have some perfectionism issues so this is why I feel this way. I'm not saying at all that those who go to therapy are stupid, this is just focused on my opinion of myself. Anyways, every session I sit there and listen to her talk and I think to myself "wow why am I here? this is so weird how my friends dont come to this but I do" or "This is so embarrassing to be this afraid of health and medical topics that I can't even watch movie about health without freaking out". I dont know why I'm starting to feel this way but I'm not sure what to do about it.

Any advice? Thanks to those who read it

Best thing to do is talk about this with your therapist; therapy is hard, scary work, but the best you will ever do.

Talk to your therapist about it.
I've had plenty of times that I feel stupid in therapy. I still do. About things that are very hard for me, but easy/normal for most people. I should probably talk about that too. I know it's hard. I've social anxiety and I'm shy. When I started seeing my T, it was very hard to talk to her. It's still is, but it did get easier over time.
