Ive been feeling extra anxious and depersonalized this whole quarantine. Ive been reading online and one of the tips for helping detached/derealization feelings is to get therapy. Im honestly very nervous to ask my mom because i dont know how she'll react to me asking her this. She is very supportive of my anxiety problems and shes always trying to help me feel better so i dont think she would give a negative reaction. Does therapy actually help?? Also any tips on asking a parent about things like this??
therapy may help ease your mind about the detached feeling. It’s not a cure but you might get some ideas on what to do. The therapist may talk about things that I have sent you already. There’s no magic bullet but the key to all of this is learning how to manage the anxiety so you don’t get the detached feeling as much.
just tell your mom you don’t like how you feel and that talking to a professional therapist who helps others, will also help you so you can manage this better.
