@Antiqueight I've never once found a therapist who was at all helpful, no matter how well intentioned. They don't understand my point of view. They project what they think I'm "really" thinking or how I should obviously be feeling, and can't get past that, no matter what I say. They never have anything useful to offer I haven't realized for myself.
My parents support me no matter what I choose, though they really want to find a way to improve matters.
