I may try therapy sometime again I don't know yet.

I think you should try a different therapist, it has to be the right fit. He may or may not be a good one, but that doesn't sound like he's a good one for you. I've seen some people say try a woman if you've been seeing a man or vice versa. Whatever you are comfortable with. I met with one once and new she wasn't right for me, so I found another and it's a lot better.
Also, I don't know anything about your education level, but would you consider going back to school for a degree or another degree? I started that process in my 30's and it has kept me on my toes. New people, new things constantly coming into my life. New subjects and teachers. For anyone that reads this, it doesn't have to cost a fortune, there are lots of great classes at community colleges. Even if you have a degree or don't want to seek one, you could still find something like a philosophy or cooking class or whatever that might just be fun to take.
