There's good and bad eggs in every batch. I personally find therapy to be helpful, it's the only place I've ever felt secure in. I find that while sharing things with friends is important, I don't want to talk to them every day about all the bad things, I want to share the high while being open to talk about lows when it is required.

Hi NoodleSoup, I'm sorry you found yourself in such a desperate situation as well.
Yes, I've kept many things hidden from friends from college, since I was deserted by a friend during a crisis. I guess that doesn't happen with a T (or it shouldn't happen) but I haven't been able to truly "connect" with a specialist in psychology. The last one I tried was a psychoanalyst: I expected so much... maybe I've read the wrong books and this kind of analysis and interpretation doesn't happen in real life any more... but I clearly saw myself becoming old and still babbling on his couch
Anyway...I'm glad I've been able to find this forum and I'd also like to thank you for your answer
. Best regards from Spain
