Are you actually saying that people who go to therapy don't have 'real issues' behind their problems? Damn...
* in an abusive job
* are going to be deported if you quit
* have kids you want to keep in school
... anxiety is a natural biological response, and there isn't a magical therapy trick that will help you get rid of it. Perhaps that time and money is better spent on managing immigration or job issues than on therapy.
And if you're in a new country with no savings and no contacts, continuing with the same example, there might not be friends or family whom you can turn to for help.
Unfortunately, there isn't a magical get-help fairy which helps with external problems. Sometimes, your life just gets f-ed up, and there's nothing you can do about it.
