Dear Hemingway,

I started going to a therapist while I was in a really deep depression and at the time it really helped. But right now (3 years later), I’m doing a lot better but I’m still seeing the same therapist because it never felt like my life was the way I wanted it to be so I just never found the right moment to break it off. And I’m sorry for telling this irrelevant story to you but I’m actually trying to say that you shouldn’t go to a therapist if you can manage. Of course it is very important to talk about how you feel and what you’ve been through but your friends and family can be very helpful for that too. They’ll be glad to listen to your story and it will only bring you closer to them. In my case, having a therapist for 3 years, has actually caused me to talk less about my personal problems with friends. I think it’s amazing how the breakup has made you a better man, you just got to believe in yourself that you will stay this way!
