Unpopular opinion but I think Abigail is on the money.

Talking to a therapist about problems that seem impossible to solve often makes you feel worse. You need to focus on overcoming the problem instead of always thinking about "why" you feel a certain way.

I'd rather open up to a close friend then talk to a therapist.

Whether you’re talking to a friend,therapist or the gatepost the positive is your looking for a solution.

I think you and this person fundamentally misunderstand modern therapy interventions. Happy to send you stacks of research which shows how effective interventions like CBT are for things like clincial anxiety and depression (which actually aim to do exactly what you want them to do, help overcome problems).

But I agree, the best solutions are the ones that people generate and implement themselves and people should feel empowered to do so. In most cases having a supportive social or family network is a huge piece of the puzzle.
