      Dude here. The therapy one can really help, especially when you find the therapist who’s right for you. It doesn’t fix everything of course but it can set you down a road where your situation starts improving. It took me a long long time to try it but I’m so glad I’ve got one now.

      You should do the therapy one. It is kind of fun once you realize that you can basically just say whatever the hell you want and won’t be judged or interact with the person socially. You also can be assured that it is kept secret (with a few serious exceptions) by law.

      It is kind of freeing to just open up about the hardest things to talk about with anyone else.

      I’m in a pretty good place mentally, but I still check in with my psych every couple months. Usually just to vent about stuff that I do not want to discuss with people I interact with socially.

      Go for it. Not gonna lie to you. It’s scary and it’s hard but, even if you don’t deal with all the shit, just having someone to talk to who can give actually useful advice helps a lot.
