I personally find it kind of saddening that I have no other option but to pay for emotional support (aka: therapy)

I’m pretty much alone besides my therapist. My parents are obviously totally unavailable, I’m an only child, perpetually single so I clearly don’t have a significant other, have yet to not feel like a burden when I attempt to open up to friends, etc…

I understand that we need to have/pay therapists to bear the brunt of our raw and tumultuous emotions/thoughts because it could be too much for the average person to deal with but still… I personally find it a little saddening.

I can’t help but feel a little more alone because of this even though I should be grateful that I have access to therapy. I just find the painful reality of it all hard to swallow. If my insurance were to pull the rug on me or if I become broke, the only support I have will all come crumbling down like the Roman Empire.

Then I’ll be alone again (but god forbid that happens).

Anyways just had to rant a bit. Thanks for reading.
