The therapist appointment unfortunately didn't really lead anywhere.

They straight up admitted they didn't feel like they were the right person to help me. It felt pretty weird, too. I couldn't even open up on a surface level because I don't really feel understood.
They might apply their knowledge from their studies, but it feels so fundamentially different talking to a person that only learnt about the subject compared to talking to people that suffered through similar struggle.
Unfortunately, the latter doesn't prove to be a good source of support.

I know another nearby therapist I'll try contacting, but I do feel more hesitant now.
