Meeks7 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Forgive me if you've provided this information earlier. Does your friend have professional credentials as a therapist? I think it is extremely important for SD's first baby-steps out of isolation to be reassured he is going to a safe place. Having professional credentials is important. After my divorce, I sought out all of the resources available from my university (both individual and group therapy). SD... this is FREE to you as well. As a student (you are in school, right?) you would have access to a wide variety of mental health professionals. Yes. My friend's friend does this for a living and isn't just another person like any of us trying to give advice on this board. Somedude81, whenever you ready, hit me up.

Teknoe Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Meeks, Nice try, but don't hold your breath. Many of us have tried to lend a hand to help pick up SD out of his pit of despair, but he's just too comfortable dwelling there. I want to have some level of comfort and trust with a person before I start bearing my soul. Also I don't think I'm completely out of options yet. Lastly I think I need more than just talk therapy a bit of a dating coach also feels necessary. You asked, you were given, and you denied it. Why are you full of excuses? You claim you want some level of comfort first, you mean, like, a FRIEND? Then why are you not out there making friends? You say you have no friends and you're fine with that. You say you need someone to talk to in real life. Someone offers, then you make excuses claiming "I want to know them a bit first." But you never make the effort to get to know other people in real life (if they don't cater to the GF potential category!) You would go to church, but a Christian girl has to invite you first. Do you see how you have a habit of setting up all these excuses as a built-in defense mechanism? You know the odds of a Christian girl inviting you to church is slim. So you're "safe" there. You know you won't find someone who "knows you a bit" so you can open up to them because you keep to yourself, so you're "safe" there. These are all just excuses to keep you standing still. Why not just take Meeks up on the offer and see how it goes for you? Link to post Share on other sites
