Hi Alex,
It feels so painful to know you are suffering so much.
Please do remember that we care very much for you here.
I do have some suggestion, for people who didn't have a solid family structure in childhood, it is usually better if they can find some roots in some religious organization. Because unlike people you meet in regular life, people who are part of a religious group are usually very devoted to each other and caring. I remember that you said you don't have faith in God, but it might be possible to cultivate it, if you want. I think it is very important for you to feel as a part of a family or a group. But be careful not to fall in hands of a cult. But there are more moderate church groups or other religious groups which will perhaps give you the feeling of being really cared for.
Therapy as such is not enough for a good life. It is only a very minimal support. I remember you didn't have a good family environment in your childhood. I think it will be especially beneficial for you if you can atleast attend churches on sundays or any other relgious meetings, or for that matter, if relgious groups are totally not an option, you can even become part of some other group devoted to any social cause. IT might really be of great help to you. I have found through experience, that people of a groups devoted to a certain cause (either relgious or non religious) care deeper for each other than ordinary friends and social acquaintances do.
