How do I know if I need therapy?
This quiz said I should consider therapy, and some people have told me that before too. But like...how do you know if you actually need to go? Sure I get sad or angry sometimes, but so does everyone. I mostly feel fine.

Some possible signs that you should consider starting therapy would be if you've had a sudden and persistent change in your mood, or you're starting to feel hopeless about making progress in an important area of your life. Many people go just to get to know themselves better or to have extra support during a tough time.

I'm in the camp that everyone can benefit from therapy. Therapy helped equip me with the tools to better process and handle my emotions and I feel like my mental health is in a much better place

I'm also on the fence. But some of my friends said it really helped them so I'm thinking about starting.
