A little over a decade ago a good friend of mine took his own life. It set off a wild train of depression and hurt in me as no early teenager is equipped to deal with that shit. I didn't get any support and suicide was a real option. I'm doing a lot better now, but it's left its scars on me. I'm overall a much better and happier person and I truly like who I am now, but it's also become clearly apparent that I still have plenty to deal with when it comes to interpersonal relationships. So I'm going back to therapy for the first time in years. The first time was a disaster, a combination of bad mental state, bad therapist, and not knowing why I was going. I am hoping this time goes better.
