stress & emotional wellbeing
Idk how to get therapy. Idk the steps, the process, anything about getting real counseling. I tried connecting with recommended therapists over the phone and I wasn’t expecting so much rejection from them (i.e. “I don’t think I can help you, here’s a referral”). I’m trying my hardest and spent countless hours trying to connect, but the failures are making me feel more and more incompetent. How does one get therapy?

I'm sorry you have such a negative experience. It's great that you're trying to reach out, I know it takes a lot and I'm really sorry you're not getting the payoff you deserve. About getting therapy, it really depends where you live, because the healthcare systems are very different around the world. I MIGHT be able to tell you something of value when it comes to Europe, but I'm sadly clueless about the US. In any case, best of luck, stay safe.

Great question! Finding the right therapist can be a challenge. Do you have insurance? Do you go to a school or university with a counseling center? Otherwise, Google 'your county free mental health walkin clinic' many bigger cities have free walk in services provided.
