I tried therapy (only once) and got very little out of it. I couldn't get past the fact that I was having to pay someone to listen to me. And then they gave me very little back. Writing (mostly on Medium) has become my new therapy, I guess, because I get so much from the expression.

Reading your article, I wanted to say this. No effort goes to waste. I truly believe that. The skills you have learnt, the therapy you have had... it all counts. You don't know where you'd be if you hadn't done these things.

Keep trying. Good things will come.
