Gonna go see a therapist

[Prince88]

Am very sceptical it will do anything. I haven't got clinical depression but am just extremely insecure about my height (171cm) and the fact that I'm a complete weirdo who struggles to fit into this world.

Will try it anyway, nothing to lose.

Go to an older male psychologist, "therapists" usually dont have any real credentials.

I talked to mine about my experience losing 30kg and he's blackpilled af, basically recited every blackpill tenet with slightly different words. Yet he's helping me have a more productive view of the blackpill.

Then again I had actual depression and an anxiety disorder.

What do you think will they tell you?

Oh embrace who you are? Go and take on the world? There is nothing to worry about "your height"?

Sorry but it's complete bullshit. If not prescribing you some shitty neuros altering meds? Which will cause more trouble on the long term rather than fixing it?

I have really bad social anxiety, but don't think I have depression. I am depressed because I have a realistic world view not due to brain chemistry.

But I don't think you really get much choice about which psychologist you get here in the UK since it's all free I think you just get what you're given.

Happy to hear you are benefiting from it though.

Yes I agree with all of that but I'm pretty hopeless right now. It's probably worth trying I think

More like "which feelings are behind/causing the anxiety", "What created these feelings?", "Why do you feel these feelings".

If you've ever meditated for a couple of months you'll notice that you start noticing your thoughts, and from that you can change your thoughts. Getting a proper therapist/psychologist is like that but on steroids. You start noticing why your thoughts are like they are, and usually once you notice them they stop having as big an effect on you. Like OPs anxiety about height, if he figures out why he cares about other people caring about him it can help lessen those feelings.

And honestly man it's hard as fuck to do alone unless you have monk level detachment from your ego.

Agreed.

Maybe since I had a shitty 3rd world experience with psychiatrists/therapists that's why I'm projecting or this is the way how I view it.

Anyway by all means OP should stay away from meds. As I know how you had a bad experience with SSRIs same as me.
