Just hope I can find other ways of dealing with the feelings,
This is a good start! Everything that I fixed with myself I did it step by step. You find yourself in a bad place and this is when you start the work. 1) What is going on with me right now, 2) understand it the best that you can (and this might take a several times to come to a good understanding), 3) Get as much insight and info that you can on the situation from your therapist to getting it here. 4) what are my options, how can I work on this, how can I change it, what else can I try, what is causing this, etc............

There are no quick fixes and there are no big jumps to solving this stuff. It is solved through small steps and a lot of understanding of what is going on. Steps cannot be skipped............
