Going to therapy made me a "happy" person. Getting the fundamentals right and understanding who you are and what your childhood issues are is 10/10

Sames.

 

I'm considering therapy too but there are no free places anywhere close to me.

What do you mean free places. Krankenkasse pays.

 

But if you're very rural, you might have bad luck. Consider calling an Sorgentelefon. Are you a student, by chance?

How did therapy change you?

all the good psychologists can't take more patients here

 

I'm an Azubi

Symptom wise: I get over stuff easily, virtually not anxious or depressed anymore.

 

On a deeper level, I understand what it means to be myself and know what my values are. This means I can do a good job of handling situations, relationships, I am more at peace with things that don't work out as I'd want them to, I don't blame myself for stuff.

 

I still have a lot to process and learn, but I feel I'm over the hardest part.

Does such a thing as happiness even exist? Is it a feeling or a state of mind. Or is it more about being satisfied with what you have going on in your life? Achievements, goals, purpose, friends, family, love.

Sounds like different ways of describing the same thing.

Why aren’t you happy, OP?

If you want to be happy, you have to make someone else happy.
