I'm wondering if I should go see a therapist or something. But I don't really see the point. So I can sit and tell somebody about how my life is out of control? They can't fix it. It can't get better unless it's NOT out of control. And if I could make it not out of control I wouldn't have a problem to begin with. So what's the point exactly, except wasting my money?
yeah.
yeah.
PLUS they can help you with how to cope with the things that are out of control and how to manage your reactions and feelings.
it's just a good outlet.
When I was younger I had a lot of trouble with my sister. She was not a nice person and she is and was a pathological liar and her version of reality often came back on me. A doctor recommended I see a psychologist. What good would that do me? it wouldn't fix my sisters issues... SHE is the one that needed to see a therapist... not me.
But I went... BEST thing I ever did. It really helped me cope with her behavior and gave me an unbiased person to talk to that would just listen and didn't try to force their opinions on me. The therapist gave me lots of great advice. that while I couldn't stop my sister from being who she was or make her change.. I COULD control my reactions and feelings and learned that I was not to blame for her issues... that it was not my fault and I wasn't causing it.
