I dont think my problems are big enough for therapy

Im just generally unhappy with life. Ive no energy to improve on myself or my life.

theres no particular thing that makes me this upset, i literally just have no energy to maintain good habits. And tbvh many people find life tough and difficult, so i dont really know if i need help any more than other people.

ive been thinking of going to therapy for ages but like i dont know what im going there for? like if the therapist asks me what brings me to therapy, i cant just say ‘life just sucks’ without giving them any reason my life sucks right? not to mention i guess most people also thinks life sucks. welps

i tot the same as u before i went for my first therapy sesh. i tot my problems would b quite lame compared to others but i still went cause free haha. in the end, it wasnt just a “my life sucks” and the therapy sesh helped me think abt other things. which i dont think i couldve done if i didnt go. i think might still b nice to go to try how a sesh feels for you and maybe they can help address some of the areas in your life thats making u think its tough. and even tho everyone might have their own struggle, doesnt mean u dont deserve help.

Hello @wannagetbetter

I would say therapy is like vitamin, you don’t wait till you’re really sick to take vitamins likewise you don’t have to really be struggling before you seek therapy. Therapy can be a tool to help you gain more insights about yourself. Right now you say you can’t tell why life sucks but it’s something worth talking about, talking about it can help you gain clarity and empower you to live a more meaningful and enriching life.

I think it’s worth taking a shot at therapy

Dear @wannagetbetter

Thank you for reaching out and for the honest sharing of what you are going through. I sense how deeply draining your journey has been for you. Though you want to improve and live better, the lack of energy has been holding you back. The questions on your mind are understandable. How do you get out of this low point in life? What could you do as a first step?

From what I have seen, speaking to a counsellor may be a viable first step to take. I believe there is no need for a big reason or a clear issue/problem to seek counselling. I think just about everyone can benefit from counselling.

Counsellors are trained to handle ambiguous feelings, trepidation and uncertainty. They listen non judgmentally, give space and gently direct the conversation in a way that facilitates you to unpack what’s on your mind. Even if you have not figured out what’s bothering you, just starting to talk about how you are feeling can be a good way to start the ball rolling.

May I also gently reframe that you are equally deserving of good quality care regardless of the level of pain you are in.

Do reach out to a counsellor soon to experience the high level of care you deserve to get better and improve your overall wellbeing. :yellow_heart:
