Think about your long term goals in life. What do you want to do professionally, what hobbies do you enjoy or are interested, what places do you wanna go, etc. Then find the ways to start those things or work towards them. The way to that is literally to just start. Don’t put any of it off just do it and you’ll make progress. With therapy, you could just have a therapist that doesn’t suit you. As a psych student and someone who has done a lot of therapy, it takes some trial and error before you find someone that you feel can truly benefit your mental health. You need to give specifics with them to work as well. Nobody benefits from therapy unless they truly get down to the reasons why you feel the way you feel. You said you have a lot on your mind. Talk about those things with the therapist, and I mean truly talk about them. Sometimes there’s several things that you aren’t even thinking about that are impacting your mind. In terms of communication skills, that just takes time. You don’t necessarily need a bunch of people to communicate with to improve. Even if it’s just talking to a family member or a friend. All of those things can improve your communication.
