Talking always made me feel better. Of all the therapists I've seen the only benefit has been getting to talk to someone, even if they didn't have any help to offer. I have one friend in the world and talking to them also makes things better, but they're not paid to pay attention and I don't want to burden them with my issues, so I don't unload as much as I would like. I guess I could also just as easily go to a bar and bother the bartender, but I don't drink or smoke.

I try to journal and that does help get the crap out of my head, but it doesn't feel the same without the other person hearing it. Like I'm talking into the wind. Alone. Which is why I probably post too much here.
