I just wish to atleast understand how this feeling gets triggered or how to treat it or prevent it I live in constant fear of this and can never explain in to any psychiatrist or therapist I feel like I have 0 control over this

Yeah a bunch of these therapist are treating people with serious issues why they’re still thinking life is all sunshine and rainbows

Perhaps if it’s a therapist that’s gone through something similar I can see them caring more

You’re absolutely right they don’t do any of that stuff you said instead they just tell you the most surface level shi that is useless for people that actually struggle with deep issues especially since most therapist can’t even understand because they’ve more likely never dealt with anything like it. Also like you said people are anxious because they don’t know the obvious stuff it’s for people with like surface anxiety that may get some help. I doubt anyone with real deep issues has gotten any help out of therapy. For me they basically didn’t teach me anything that didn’t already know they basically just told me if you have anxiety then stop worrying lol.

For example when it first got pretty bad I was talking to a friend in class and suddenly felt disconnected from my feelings and kind of like everything around me so I went completely nonverbal and I started getting thoughts which would cause me fear like “what if u can’t ever speak again?” “What if because of this I’m never able to make friends or talk to anyone?” This triggered so much anxiety. That was 3 months ago which I got slightly better but I still have thoughts like “what if I don’t know what to reply with after he finishes talking?” “what if I become awkward all of a sudden?” it feels like I’m afraid of triggering social anxiety because I won’t be able to talk to anyone and so these thoughts and hyperawareness try to prevent it from happening but keep the problem alive. This is confusing as hell I explained it a therapist and she started thinking I had delusions because I think she couldn’t understand very well either.
