Hello green feather, I wonder if at this point you might need to talk to your general practitioner and ask for a referral to a psychiatrist. Therapists can’t always diagnose if for example you have clinical depression (in the US therapists could provide diagnosis in order for health insurance approve therapy, which is often bogus diagnosis. You need to see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis, so it might be similar in Italy)

There are many different ways to conduct therapy and many different styles of therapy. If therapy doesn’t enhance your life and doesn’t help you, it might not be right for you. Talking about what happened is all good but what’s next? It sounds that you’d like to have some type of strategies and coping techniques. I don’t blame you for being unsatisfied with therapists if they don’t even recommend anything. You want to Improve your life, and commend you for that

As about loneliness... do you have things in life that keep you busy in a productive way? Work? School? Hobbies? Social cause? Volunteer? Do projects? Do you have too much idle time? (Not saying you do but just asking). Could you plan something interesting or important to do for when you arrive home from outings with friends?
