Confused about my anxiety

Post Content

Hi guys. Ive been an anxious person my entire life. Panic attacks, increased heartbeat, chaos in my head, other physiological symptoms, i would even get dizzy because of how anxious i felt at times. Because of anxiety i missed a lot of opportunities in my life. Sometimes it is challenging for me to go outside and talk to people. I cannot sleep at night because of my thoughts. This basically sums up what i’ve been experiencing throughout my life. Lately it’s been getting worse, im in my final year of high school, applying to unis, and i think this impacted my anxiety. I started having doubts that i might have generalized anxiety disorder, so i decided to go to therapy. Ive been in therapy for around 2 months now, but idk if its helping me. My therapist is a gestalt-therapist, so we’re always trying to find the initial reason for a certain feeling or a thought. She is an amazing professional and i feel like i learn a lot during the sessions with her, but sometimes i feel like i should be on medication. I am so tired of feeling this way. Im tired of myself. And i don’t know whether I should continue therapy or stop it.
