Yes, of course, the first step is that you decided and it is your journey. Counseling is just like support. Find where it is stemming from and learn how to deal with it. First, talk to your main provider about a check-up. Then, get a referral to do telehealth with those like me.
It sounds like you will need a medication acutely in order to be able to engage in therapy. You will not be able to take advantage of therapy unless you are somewhat comfortable and not actively panicking.
Hi,
Good for you, good choice! You can find a counselor specializing in stress reduction fairly easily. There is so much stress this year, and fortunately many trained in dealing with it. I don’t know where you live, but that may not be relevant in this telehealth era. A good place to start would be at your local community hospital where they will likely have a list of appropriate counselors. There are also reputable non-profit referral organizations where you can search by topic (“stress”) and read bios of the people on that list. And, there are also groups that teach stress-reduction techniques/mediation/exercise, but those will not address your particular issues. Sometimes an individual counselor plus such a group is a very effective combination.
Good luck!
Peace,

It sounds as if you were would definitely benefit by psychotherapy and probably also medication, at least initially. Many psychiatrists do both psychotherapy and prescribe medication when needed. Other times, the patient will see a non psychiatrist therapist for regular psychotherapy with periodic visits to psychiatrist to adjust medication. If you have not had a complete physical with blood tests, that also would be a good idea.
Sometimes by trying to be in control, stress can take the upper hand. With the focus on behavior changes and other approaches, I can assist you in feeling less stressed.
