I always get the ones where I tell them what's going on and they just say "oh yeah, you're right" or suggest stupid things like tapping exercises and crap. I can't do those things because I already DOUBT that anything will work. Same with hypnosis and all. Then the ones that seem good aren't taking my insurance or there's some other freaking issue to cause a road block for me. My search continues though.

I don't want to be like this, but it's been this way for so long...reaching out to everyone with no one to reach back. I can't even have a healthy relationship with someone else because of this. I have to consciously work at it everyday. These people MADE this way and I suffer EVERYDAY. So, why do they get off so easy?
You might want to try looking for a therapist who is trained in psychoanalysis. If you live near a large city you can contact a psychoanalytic institute for a referral. This is how I found my therapist.
Here are some: http://www.apsa.org/About_APsaA/Accr...nstitutes.aspx

It might be an idea to see a therapist who isn't on your insurance, if possible. Some insurance plans offer only brief therapy.

You don't have to suffer. Your life can feel better.
