Do you feel like somebody might say that you "just" need to "get over it" by going to therapy?
I can only speak of my own experience.
My therapist seems to have a good deal of patience with me. He seems to have an idea that I'm managing (or not managing) a chronic condition along with all that therapy entails.
A lot of things have gotten better with therapy, some fundamental things haven't budged.
I can't figure it out. I spend a good deal of energy getting through my working days. I also spend much of my non-working time "recovering" or avoiding stimulation in almost any form. Socialization is not my idea of fun.
As far as the pooling resources idea, I'm all about that. Surviving is tough. But I don't know what might make you doubt whether living with mom is a good idea.
