I got a new therapist. He seems like a good person and we talked for two hours.

My ex-therapist became my friend and we needed to finalize that.

It is not the first time.

It sometimes worries me that people form attachments towards me even when they're trying to preserve space.

I am not sure how I feel after all the talking today. But it is common for first sessions to feel like you are at loss and in need of direction.

I think I am not as angry as I was yesterday but who knows, maybe it is the tiredness.

Trying to use therapy to manage my extreme mood swings and develop the tools I already accumulated. Most of it will be just me bouncing off ideas and evaluating my progress. But I do need someone else helping me. It's not easy for me to admit that.

When I feel I need help of any kind the word burden comes to mind. It keeps me from asking.
Have seen several therapists for different reasons. Having read several psychology books to get me through a break up with someone looking to degree in psychology I paid attention to the therapist as much as them me. It might be the bias of the break up but I always leave feeling they went into the field to understand themselves and still haven't figured it out.
I'm extremely glad you can admit that, as it means you are stronger than me, and a lot of others who can't admit that, even though it's also true, as it's too hard.

Keep being strong and getting help where you need it, it'll help keep making you better.

I'm glad you found someone that you think initially is a good person. It's needed to find trust in them when continuing your talks. 🤗

Usually after I've been really angry, I just go numb, cry or sleep cause it's exhausting to feel like that. I hope you feel better Miram, and hope that therapy helps 🫂

@Cassieeeee Thanks Cassie. Yes, maybe I am numb. I am not sure. I think I am mostly guarded.

I hope things improve for you too 🫂

@Miram Thank you 🩷
A person has to be strong to accept that they need help. And you are a strong person.

I wish he is qualified enough not to waste your time.

@sam1992 It is okay. Even if they are things I already know, reminders help. And he is also learning from the experience.
