Do you think therapy is necessary for a severe anxiety disorder?

I don't know what to do. I wanted to do therapy in April. And the therapist said that on June we will begin. Now she tells me it's possible to begin over a few weeks. More than 4 weeks. Do you think should I stay without therapy for such a long time? Is therapy necessary for severe anxiety? Should I wait so much? Maybe I can handle anxiety by myself. Or search another therapist. I don't know what to do. Please give me some advice.

The question is can you handle your anxiety by yourself or do you think you need help? It os all up to you. If you were able to wait for a while, maybe you can handle uourself.

I think I need help. I was able to wait, but it wasn't easy.

If there are other therapists in your area you could try to contact them. Ask them how long you have to wait if you want a session with them. While you wait you could look for selfhelp books about anxiety or visit websites like AnxietyBC.

Having second opinion by other therapist can be an option...

Consult other specialist, its always better to have second opinion on important topic
