I had therapy for the first time in a couple of years today with a professional

He is a Doctor of Psychology so he's not an MD, but at least he's someone who is fully trained and isn't a student that isn't able to help me due to their school saying FA is a symptom, not a cause. He told me I have PTSD from my being destroyed at school and at home by constant bullying. He said people didn't take the victims of bullying seriously back then but do now. This isn't the fake PTSD most people on Tumblr claim to have. I was physically and mentally bullied throughout my childhood almost every day. My Mom told me she had no idea how much my Sister was hurting me despite as a child, I told my Mom how much my Sister was hurting me. She only cared when I fought back. He said we need to work on getting past the childhood bullying although I never thought it affected me now. My self-esteem currently sucks due to being socially isolated since I have no friends. The one thing that seemed to throw him off was that I was a 32 year old virgin, He told me an Autistic client used prostitutes to raise his confidence, then dated and found a GF. He said to not use prostitutes since they are illegal, but it really has caused me to think about whether I should hire escorts. When I've told therapists in the past that I'm a virgin, it always seems to throw them off. The concept of being an adult virgin yet being extroverted confuses so many people. I will give him a chance. If he starts to fall into the same blaming my family, then giving platitudes, I will stick with him. I don't think he understands what it's like to have no friends, but it seems like it's something he wants to try and put himself in my place to see what it must be like to be as socially isolated as I am.

Ironically my Supervisor who was one of the women oogling over my attractive co-worker also goes there.
