After reflecting from the comments, you are right. I need therapy, Thank you. I know that is easier said then done. As I work full time with kids. The comments help, so thank you to all giving me advice as I take it to heart.
Virtual therapy sessions are a big thing now. I'm sure there's added benefit to in-person sessions, but if time and life are constraints, the option is there.
I've done both and it's possible my virtual therapy sessions were an outlier but I'd strongly recommend at least starting with in-person. I just didn't find virtual anywhere near as effective as face to face with another person.
Why do you think that is? What do you feel that younger out of in-person visits that you don't get virtually?
I'm an anxious person and the thought of seeing someone like that in person stresses me the fuck out tbh
Good luck!
