Where to start?
Im not sure if this is where I'd post this but I suppose it would be here?
But heya. I have a lot of medical and mental issues, tramas, and Im lgbt+ so I got a lot going on and Im not sure where to start. Ive seen a few therapists irl. At least one who gave up on me. two labeled me as non-compliant because I wouldnt do a blood test. (I wanted to and told them I want to, but I need to work on my needle phobia which no one will work with me on.) My current one, I recently found out, while not anti lgbt+, isnt exactly supportive either. She also, sorta gave up on me as she doesnt know how to work with executive dysfunction. So like, where do I start? How do I find someone to talk to that can help with these issues? Do I just have to much going on for one therapist? Please help
@CaptainK Hey - How are you? I'm sorry noone replied to you sooner. It doesn't sound like too much to me. Unfortunately - sometimes it take a bunch of tries to find a therapist that fits with what you need and unfortunately not all therapists are as open minded as they should be and some seem to let their personal opinions get in the way. Keep trying though - I know it can be frustrating though - maybe you could research online and find someone better suited. Or you could ask your current one if they have any recommendations - which is awkward - but hopefully they would understand
I wish you the best of luck
