Thank you so much for your advice. When I was in the throes of my last major depression, I tried desperately to find a therapist but my insurance is very limiting on who I can see. I did manage to find one therapist with a sliding income-based fee scale but I neglected to show up at the appointment because I was ashamed of myself at the time. I think I will try to set another appointment with the same woman I did before, that may help.
I hadn't really considered the points you brought up but I think they will really help me work through whatever this mental blockage is that's keeping me from getting close to people, men in particular.
Thank you so much, I very much appreciate it.
