> Not to mention the search isn't just about finding "a" therapist, it's about finding one that's a good fit.

This is why I don’t bother tbh. I have no interest in throwing away money by “throwing the dice” so to say until I find someone who is a good fit. Some friends recommend to a site that aggregates mental health professionals in the area, and almost none of them were actively accepting new clients, except the ones who specialize in things that don’t apply to me.

As someone who lived with their problems for twenty years before doing anything about it due to anecdotes like the one shared above, consider rolling the dice.

Are these considered the most productive years of your life? What are the most productive years of your life worth? What could they be worth if you weren't mentally fucked? That question is going to vary depending on the individual, but even if you're not interested in the monetary worth—well, you only go round the once. Is it money thrown away if you eventually solve your problem? The way to look at is R&D of your mental health.

Wishing you better mental health.
