I am going to a psychologist because I feel emotionless most of the time, experience manic episodes with hyperactivity and bursts of creativity, and have very down periods. When I feel 'normal,' I tend to overthink everything, which makes me very tired and socially isolated. These issues may have underlying causes such as trauma, but the fact that my neural circuits keep wiring this way concerns me. I want to know if there are other treatments for constant anxiety besides speaking therapy, as that doesn't seem to help me despite my efforts.
I do these things and sometimes feel I don't have peace inside me. I feel gratitude, I'm with a therapist, and I talk about my feelings. Maybe I need more time? How can I process my emotions in this situation and in everyday life? How can I foster my feelings on my own? What should I think about my thoughts and feelings when I don't feel good about my girlfriend, without having too many arguments?
Do I want a therapist who is somewhat structured or somewhat flexible?
