Hello, everyone!

I have some questions that I've been wondering about for a quite some time.

That is - do you have anyone in your life that you can talk pretty much anything with? This someone knows your whole story, and you can talk about your issues, secrets, about your mental health and, so on and so forth? This person doesn't judge you and geneuinely cares about you. (Other than your therapist that is)

If yes, do you think by having this person in your life you can cope a little better with you issues?

If no, do you wish to have someone like that? And, do you feel like if you had someone like that in your life, your problems that you are going through right now will be a bit better somehow?

I know this is a bit weird questions to ask... but I wanted to know your thoughts about it!

In my case, I don't really have anyone that I can talk every emotion, my deepest sorrows and secrets with. My family and I are close (don't have any siblings) but there are things I am not really open to talking about it with them. I do have a few friends but then again, although they do know bits and pieces of my life but they hardly know me as a whole.

Whenever I am going through something, I try to solve it myself. I am not religious per say but I do like studying about them and spirituality so I tend to seek comfort from those.

I have never seen a therapist before so I am not quite sure how the process works but I have thought about seeing them as I really have no one I can talk about my problems with. I know that having someone in your life that you can talk to about any and everything without being judged and really caring about your well being and having a good therapist that you can rely on are two different things but what is your take on this? ( And, if you have an experience seeing a therapist, I greatly appreciate it if you can tell me how the process works!)

Thanks and looking forward to seeing your replies )
