do i need to see a psychologist?


Question Posted Sunday October 12 2008, 4:48 pm

hey alright well lately it seems like im super self conscious about EVERYTHING i say and do. im kind of hard on myself, to the point where i analyze every word, every motion, every tone in my voice to make sure i sound.. i guess "socially correct", or "cool" would be the word.

even with text messages, it can take me 5 minutes to decide how to say a one or two word answer. every character is crucial.

so you can imagine how lost i am when it comes to real-time conversations. instead of sounding confident i stutter sometimes and other times i cant think about what i want to say.

when i remember every time i "mess up" i cringe...it feels terrible inside

i want to sound confident b/c i feel confident. but then i start worrying about whether i sound confident which makes me mess up, i guess.

opinions?

If you feel you need to see a psychologist, then maybe you should. It certainly can't hurt. You can maybe talk to a councelor/therapist. They can be very helpful, so consider it.

I wouldn't say it's extremely serious, but if it bothers you to the point where it's effecting everyday life, then you should do something about it.

You may or may not need a psychologist,
but what you are doing isn't normal. I
would recommend you see your regular
doctor. Tell him/her exactly what you
are doing. Don't make light of it, let
the doctor know this is bothersome.

Your doctor can give you advice and/or
recommend you to a psychologist. You
don't mention your age, but if you are
a teen, your parents will probably follow
your doctors recommendation more easily
than just taking you straight to a
psychologist. :)
