I don't want to start actual therapy with someone who's just going to say that's it, when I don't feel it's enough. It's like getting everything out of boxes then just leaving a mess behind.

ok going to be a bit blunt here....you dont feel so good mentally, your country doesnt do long term therapy so you would rather not enter therapy....
ok thats a choice you need to make for yourself
that said heres a thought.....by choosing not to enter therapy short term you are choosing to continue to feel bad, continue the way you are. can you handle going through months and years using your energy to continue staying the same rather than getting healthy..
thats what my therapist once told me when I was bouncing from treatment provider to treatment provider because I didnt know any of the loop holes.
she had a point. it was my choice not to be in treatment short term avenues so it was my choice not to feel better. if I really wanted to get better I would do what ever I had to, to make that happen.....even if it meant being in treatment short term....
for me it was worth more to me to feel better rather than continue to feel bad. so I made the short term avenues work for me...each time I would pick one problem....just one .....to focus on with that short term treatment provider. a person can get more work done by taking things one step at a time rather than doing bits and pieces of many things...
I went in to those short term therapists by starting my first session with them by saying I have many issues I would like to learn how to deal with but we dont have time for that, this is short term therapy options so heres the one most important thing I would like to work on with you... then I stuck with working on that one issue until I ran out of sessions or until the problem was resolved. with the next treatment provider I would pick up where I left off I would keep a therapy journal so that I could walk in, hand them my therapy journal and say here you go this will get you up on track faster than I can sit here and fill you in on what I have already worked on, this is what Im working on with you today and tell them my problem as it stands at that moment.. or I would choose a different issue to work on with them....
believe it or not I got amazing amount of work done through working on one issue at a time per treatment provider. I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder, got on medication, learned how to organize my time, learned so much about myself, and much more...
my point is its your choice whether you want to hold out for something that is not an option in your location, which means you are choosing to continue to go on the way you are feeling horrible....or enter short term treatment and get things done by taking it one problem at a time....
