Iīm not quite sure about the transportation thing, could you specify what you mean? Iīve lived quite near Stockholm city for years so the distance itself isnīt stopping me for going to town from time to time. Perhaps I mentioned this about transportation when it comes to see a T who has her practice far away?

Sorry, perhaps I had you confused with someone else who was having trouble paying for transportation.
I can really identify with being 'the "good and competent girl" who had good grades and behaved in a nice way'. It was very hard for me to know who I was besides that. "Therapy" was "supposed" to help with that, I thought, but it took years, if it really did. And now I'm old!
Well, we all get there eventually, unless it's the alternative.
I did have some good years, so I certainly can't complain about everything.
I'm not religious myself personally but I like your idea of looking for counseling in a church. It may be that you would find someone who is more caring and interested in you as a person in that environment. And if it doesn't work work out entirely, maybe it will still help a little.
