haven't been able to afford therapy since I got fired from my job
because I wasn't "connecting to customers" (lately I've just gotten more
and more depressed). I'm also a student, so I can't just get a fulltime
job at McDonalds or something. My dad is out of the picture and my mom
won't pay for real therapy because she's convinced that I don't have a
problem and that medication is evil. So, I've either going to economized
guidance counselors or school guidance counselors. They basically have
absolutely nothing to say. They say "yes, you have a problem where you
focus on one issue and ignore any rational explanation for it (for
example, having a small argument with boyfriend and freaking out
assuming we're not right for each other). However, none of them really
tell me how to help this. They say I have a problem, but don't give me
any way to help it. They suggest medication, but I can't afford it and
as I said before, my mom thinks it's evil. She put me on some herbal
crap, but that's not doing anything. Furthermore, because I'm not of
"mature age" to have "mature relationships" (I'm 18) they assume that
our relationship was built on childish infatuation and that it's not
worth fighting for. In my mind, it doesn't matter how old I am, if I'm
with someone who is compatible with me, who I enjoy being with, and who
is special to me, why not fight for it? I feel like I cared about him at
all, even as just a friend, I'd try as hard as possible not to hurt
him. Not even trying to mend the relationship and just letting it go to
date guys who don't have much in common with me that I just date because
they're someone new to pay attention to me would be the ultimate "fuck
you." So, I don't have much trust for guidance counselors. |
