I feel like I need some counsel outside my friend group. A third party, unbiased, confidant with some legitimate experience. I don't go to a church, so I don't have a particular elder/pastor type to go too; Don't think a random one will be the best idea either.

My thought is to seek out much older practitioners. If convenience has it, one that went to a school that was not known for extreme commie-radicalization at the time he went. Doubt I will have much of a choice in the my city.

Then again, some things are best left unsaid.

Search online, most of the time they list what they specialize in. If you see LGBT/Trans that's obviously going to be a hard pass, you can also do a quick voting record search. I ended up with someone that specializes in drug and alcohol abuse even though I don't do anything like that but he ended up being great to talk about stress from government overreach with, the point is even if they specialize in marriage counseling or something else don't rule them out. Good luck.

Voting record search?

[–] 0 pt

Yes. If they vote Democrat they are less likely to be understanding of the pain someone from Poal experiences. It's easier to feel understood with a likeminded individual.

I don’t trust anyone in those fields. Why would you want to talk to those types of people?

I would go to a middle-aged non-jew man

I recommend you find a non western educated person. Someone who's from Japan or India and trained there. Person is less likely to be a brain washed liberal. Those groups have high in group preferences as well.

That's an interesting idea. Thank you.

When I say they have high in group preference, they'll understand if you do as well.

As long as you know, any psych or counsellor is but a mirror. They can not, will not give you any solutions. But will ask you questions that will enevitably lead you to an answer you already possess.

Make sure it's a psychiatrist, not a psychologist or counselor. Psychiatrists have to go to medical school and get real degrees that involve learning how the human body works. Psychologists are liberal arts majors. Just tell them you're not interested in drugs up front. Any competent psychiatrist is schooled in cognitive and behavioral therapy.

Find a Salvation Army Corps

If theyre wearing a uniform they have been through a personal war and won, and are wearing those uniforms because they dont want anyone else going through what theyve gone through and will talk to you about what theyve gone through.

Doesnt have to be a faith thing. My corps you can go in at lunchtime on most wednesdays and have a full meal, theres always tea coffee and biscuits, and there is always donated food and washing machines and stuff like that.

I went because i just needed to talk. I stayed because i found a bunch of brothers.

Turns out one of those brothers had been in one of my classes, felt like i needed to talk to someone, but couldnt talk to me. Prayed over me, and i showed up at his church like 3 weeks later.

You need to find someone who will give you perspective. Psychs, are spoiled rich kids with a heart of gold. I've fooled everyone I've been too because they're not jaded like me. There are really bad people out here and you're going to have bad thoughts. They aren't you. They aren't from you. Mourn over them or put them in a box to deal with later. Figure yourself out first. Then you'll be strong enough to fix it.

Look for one who treats without the use of medicine as a crutch. They exist

Otherwise I just talk to tards cuz the doctor told me to.
