    Recently I was told I probably need medication for that fact I’m worried about ten million different things happening right now, but like, surely my fears are entirely rational and justified???

      They are, but your therapist might have a contract obliging them to recommend it for the purpose of obtaining large amounts of money. Being a therapist only pays well if your patients are rich fucks with daddy issues.

      Also, there’s a small chance that even though your fears are on point, your therapist might consider it better for you mentally to keep calm and get bent than to maintain a constant state of fear and anxiety. I hear the latter is bad for the heart.
