Never apologize for a long post - it's hard to summarize a lifetime of battles with mental illness into one paragraph! I think you hit the nail on the head when you say you just want to be frank and clear. I too got tired of the therapists, psychologists, etc because I am SO OVER talking about childhood and traumas, parents, family EEEKKKK! I want someone to help me cope with daily life, not dissect me over and over again. Help me with organization, managing my finances, new skills that I can use to get me thru my worst days, etc...
They ARE out there, but hard to find. Keep us posted!
