Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I'm trying to find places online to see if anyone can help me out. I haven't been able to leave my house in 2 years (I can go outside and in my yard but no where in the car) the only way for me to be able to get therapy is if I have a social worker come to my house which I really don't want to do. I am not able to talk about my feelings and problems out loud I have a hard time forming the right words and my brain just feels like it hits a wall and nothing comes out of my mouth. I am much better at typing out my feelings. I want to be able to text a therapist but I don't know if that is possible. The counseling office near me said they couldn't do that so I'm wondering if anyone knows of online therapy that isn't just a robot programmed to say stuff to you. Like a real person to talk to. I will be turning 18 soon and I won't be on my mom's insurance anymore so we're trying to find something quickly. Any help would be much appreciated and hopefully I'm doing this right I'm not sure how to post on here haha

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...

Writing it out is a good step.
Therapy requires you to do things to help your healing.
No one can help you until you help yourself.
Best wishes and welcome to DS.
Anyhoo. . . Getting back on topic. . .
You are doing this just fine. Every healing path is unique. Don't be afraid to follow your instincts and/or best guesses here. It's allowed. All of us are **just** fumbling through, as best we can.
Runaway anxiety gives me bowel incontinence, as well. Gentle empathy on that horror. It is a social faux pas even nastier than putting an "R" in Missus. However, there are better coping mechanisms than shutting myself in a cage for the rest of my life. I hope you'll stick around long enough to discover some of those tricks.
Welcome aboard. Hope you find healing companionship here.
They offer online therapists to you. I’m sure there’s a cost involved, but they are therapists. You can read their bios and choose the one you want. They also have listeners who are people who will text with you live if you need someone to talk to. Just a thought. Hope it may help you.
Do keep us posted, whether on that thought or other thoughts you might develop as you find your words for ^it^.
