I'm sorry if my telling you to find a therapist felt invalidating. I have been seeing one, off and on (mostly "on"), usually 3 times a week, since my early 20's, and I am almost 60. I don't know what you usually do to cope, that you resorted to, but I am truly sorry I triggered you. I did not mean to be dismissive, I was not aware this was something people were telling you. What kind of respinse are you looking for, what would help?
