  • The hardest part about therapy is that when you reach out, you’re typically at a very low point where you’re feeling you can’t take it anymore, etc.

    And the you gottaike email, or call, and wait, and schedule shit, and go in, and do intake, and the wait for your second appt to actually talk about shit, and you dump your soul out for a stranger, and like 20% of the time it’s a good fit. And if it isn’t, you gotta go through it all over again.

    Most people just give up on it.

    Usually when Im at really low lows, I kinda feel like there’s too much pain contributing to how I’m handling my current situation to fully explain and make it all make sense. And that feeling is isolating, and compounding.

    But, you really can find a therapist that’s a good fit. It can be really challenging and draining. But if you spend a solid year looking for the right fit, it’ll pay dividends.

    Idk, it’s not for everyone, and even all of that is just the “fist step”. Only other advice I can offer is, unfortunately, cardio. Go for a hike or a jog, every day. I hate doing it, and I hate even more admitting it’s beneficial effects on my shittiest of moods. Especially because it’s the last fucking thing I wanna do when I feel shitty.

    Good luck holmes.
