Therapy, retail or otherwise

When people say they have a therapist, what do they mean? A counselor, a psychologist, something else?

I think maybe I would benefit from some sort of therapy (shut up, you!) but I have no idea where to start looking for someone or where to even start talking about stuff. I have come to the conclusion that I am Messed Up (and so are you, probably) and would like to know how I can either be less Messed Up or deal with my Messed Up-ness a little better. When I hear someone saying anything about their therapist it almost sounds decadent to me; it’s what people who live in fancy apartments in New York City do. Or women who go to the spa and have their nails done regularly.

I don’t know why I equate mental health with a luxury service, but hey we’ve already established that I look at things a little skewed.

I’ve had a few good months dealing with my anxiety, maybe due in part to the fact that I’m leaving the biggest source of my stress (my job). Naturally, then, my anxiety manifested itself this past weekend in a new and disastrous way.

*sigh*

Anyways, yeah. Sometimes it feels like it would be good to unburden myself on a professional.
