1 time in college, age 18, was in love but my feelings turned for my bf, my period wouldn’t stop, I wasn’t sure what I was doing in my course of study, had no guidance, no direction. The school therapist instead focused on my history and when I revealed my father’s death, he focused only on that. I hysterically cried. Then never saw him again for therapy, felt embarrassed, gyn put me on the pill, I left school.

Next time I was around 38, went for couples counseling. We didn’t like her. Nothing got solved. Similar feelings of having turned off to my husband. We never solved this or worked it out.

Many different professionals over the years, no good solutions.
