In 2007, your posts were not as normal as you think. You complained about high school and being unhappy. Mentioned trying out for football and quitting and no reason for happiness after that. Mentioned wanting to quit high school. Mentioned fear of speaking in public. Mentioned switching schools and then switching back again and not having many friends. Mentioned purposely skipping social events at your high school (retreats, sports days, etc.). Mentioned low self esteem. Mentioned concern about your IQ. You called yourself stupid.

I don’t want to get into a sparring match. My intent is to help you to realize that based on your CC history of posts since 2007, your issues have been ongoing. Add onto that, the trauma and emotional rollercoaster of what your family went through with your Dad’s sickness and death and it’s understandable for anyone to seek help in dealing with all of this. Because you didn’t click with one therapist should not deter you from trying again with another. Could your fear of speaking to others be holding you back from trying to speak with a different therapist?

We want you to find some peace of mind and joy. We’re not trying to upset you. We’re trying to help you.
