Comment on Redditors told me to go to a therapist but I can’t afford one nor pick one from thousands available. What now?

A good part of therapy is having the problems accurately identified with possible realistic goals for how to improve your mental situation.

I need money and fearlessness, now give me that or at least ways to achieve it

Self diagnosis often leads to the wrong conclusions. A perfect example is that there are already many rich, powerful, fearless assholes. Not only is adding you to their ranks unrealistic but it may not lead you to a future where you are content with yourself. Therapy can help you find whats wrong, and help you with the tools to know what to do about it. They aren’t going to “fix” you though. If you’re going into it with that mindset you’re going to come out exactly as you went in. Therapy is work. Be prepared to put in the work. It can be difficult, but its always worth it. The alternative is what you are now or possible even a worse version of yourself if you go down the wrong spiral.
