i did talk about my anxiety about school and she was like "well you must try, it must be done eventually"

honestly she got a point there. anxiety gets worse the longer you ignore it. battling your anxiety is the best and bravest thing you can do but i understand that it's hard. maybe talk to you therapist again? ask for medication or any option/chance you could take advantage of? maybe a rehab could be good for you? and if you really feel like your therapist doesn't help you, you could try to go to another one. you deserve to be happy and you deserve help-

i think ive done some sum progress by myself before i had even started therapy

so i'm not sure if therapy is a necessity.. but yeah i think the whole medication thing should be seriously considered, although i do wanna try and get over it but it's hard lool very hard ;_;

Depending on what you're going through anxiety isn't something you just "get over". You do your best to be as high functioning as possible often with therapy and medication.
You can definitely progress on your own obv.

idk in my case there probably a lot im struggling with i dont know. i have been removed before from my home, i have experienced a lot of neglect and so and so on, and experienced traumatic stuff i havent talked with anyone rlly with. talking with my brother about it was just telling me i probably im way more affected than i think and something i really should talk with a therapist about, cause it has still formed me into the person and the struggles i have and probs the reason i have anxiety, but i dont know what and how and why, these things wouldn't be something i would talk with my friends about as it can be tough for them or even triggering (depending on what it is, but my friend for example has a eating disorder which i CANT talk with her about, as it's extremely triggering for me). it also about figuring why u choose as u do, why u act as u do, why u respond as u do and so on

yeah therapy isn't for everyone. there are def some people who can 'fix' things by themself without any other help needed and maybe you're one of them? still my advice would be: just ask about all the options you hav. i mena you don't have to do any of the things she recommends but i feel like knowing your opinions might be a good start and just decide afterwards? if you feel like medication might help you, go for it, give it a try and form your own opinion

I think I have just figured out everything just by myself in my own head from before, they rlly just got no input

Just saying that it is possible! U gotta move a couple steps, but you are the one to say how big those steps need to be and in what speed!
