Do I need counseling?

By The New Me  Published On January 5, 2022

How do you know that it’s time to seek a counselor? Humans have the ability to cope with adversity often referred to as psychological resilience. However, when you find yourself not being able to cope with life’s ups and downs, this is a clear sign that you might need someone else’s assistance to help you cope with whatever you are going through.

Example

Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. Anxiety is a good thing, it warns you when you are in a dangerous situation. If you get anxious walking by yourself in the middle of the night, this is totally a normal reaction. Your anxiety prepares you to respond to danger. However, if you experience intense, excessive, and persistent worry about day-to-day situations, this is not normal. One shouldn’t feel that way. When your anxiety starts interfering with your daily activities, this is when you should seek help. 

A counselor will offer you a safe place to talk about your life challenges, help you understand your feelings, and teach you new ways to cope with the ongoing situation to gain back control over your life. Simply put, I will help you see the light at the end of the tunnel.

You should seek a counselor if you are experiencing any of the following:

  1. Trouble thinking, concentrating, making decisions and remembering things.
  2. Many unexplained physical problems- Stomach pain, back ache, increased heart rate.
  3. Long-lasting sadness or irritability.
  4. Lack of a goal and hope.
  5. Loss of interest or pleasure in most or all normal activities, such as sex, hobbies or sports.
  6. Extremely high and low moods.
  7. Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or sleeping too much.
  8. Anxiety, agitation or restlessness.
  9. Social withdrawal.
Do I need counseling ?
  1. Feelings of worthlessness or guilt, fixating on past failures or self-blame
  2. Strong feelings of anger.
  3. Mental Rumination.
  4. Lack of motivation to do simple daily tasks such as getting out of bed and brushing your teeth.
  5. Increasing inability to cope with daily problems and activities.
  6. Thoughts of suicide.
  7. Denial of obvious problems.
  8. Abuse of drugs and/or alcohol.
