Here are some things to consider and questions to ask yourself if you are thinking about whether to start therapy.
- Are you feeling Sad, Angry, Anxious or otherwise Not Yourself? Have you not been doing the stuff you enjoy or find that you are lacking motivation?
- Have you been hearing from the ones close to you that you do not seem like yourself? Are you having a hard time controlling those strong emotions like anger and sadness? Are you finding it easier to withdraw from your family and friends?
