I’m having a hard time finding a therapist. It’s not even about insurance I just feel like there are not enough around me. The few I have tried send me home to write 3 things I love about myself daily or take 6 deep breaths before bed. This is probably what therapy is but I just want to talk to someone about how the pain I’m in. I don’t want to do homework. I can’t even find help to get me out of this.

I feel you Paralegal! I found my immediate needs were misaligned with the support I received as well. I just can’t do meditation, or write things I like about myself... I wanted to soothe the wounds rather than get anxiety for not being able to do these exercises.
I ended up signing up for a digital service that provides with self-directed wellbeing content with the option to reach out to a counsellor via asynchronous chat as needed. I just started and it is a Canadian service as I am based out of Canada. Feel free to DM if you need more information about it.

You have to start small and build from it. But it sounds like you want talk therapy to vent to, and that you don't want to actually do the work to heal yourself

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.
