You could speak with a "peer counselor" about this. A "peer" is NOT a professional. Rather, he or she is someone who has gone through similar experiences as you have. Sometimes, a "peer" is in a better position to help someone than a "professional" is.
For example, I am a Ph.D. sociologist. But I stopped working in academica years ago and now I am the "Director of Housing and Senior Advocate" at a Center for Independent Living in New York.
Most States now have "peer counseling centers" and I can easily find one for you if you'd like me to.There is at least one peer counselor at every Center for Independent Living in the USA.
Please don't be afraid to let me know.
