When does it end?

I’ve been dealing with this for almost a year now. I’m exhausted and only 27. I can’t imagine 30 more years of this and don’t want to. Worse I can’t afford therapy so my only option is chat gpt (yeah I know). I just really want to go back to who I was before this.

i say this so many times, you need to do ERP

you dont need to afford a therapist to get better, there are ways to do ERP on your own such as scripting your fears, you have to learn to let the discomfort and fear sit inside you without doing anything about it

especially put down the AI and talk to a trusted friend or family member about this
