I'm Scared Therapy Isn't For People Who Are Struggling as Badly as I Am

Thank you for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it. I like your idea of using it for feedback for the future. The experience made me a little reluctant to reach out for more help, but hearing your story is helpful.

I'm nervous bc when I tell new therapists I'm doing all these things, they tell me "that's great, keep doing all of that! Just hold onto your hope!", and it's hard to admit, like, thanks, but I'm still actually struggling hard with sadness and attachment. Sometimes I wish I could just say "Hey, I'm really struggling. I'm safe. I have no intent or plan. I'm just having a really hard time, and I just needed to tell someone." Old therapist seemed ok with this initially (happened maybe 5-6 times over the course of the year) until the tail end. So I'm nervous to admit it again to someone. Just scared of being left again.
