How does one seek a therapist?

I'm in the exact same position as you, I know I'm fucked in the head, but my head won't lead me to help I need others to guide me

It's not that, I just usually make things more difficult than they really are, and I don't trust women what so ever, even if they haven't done anything. I know some of you ppl consider this smart, but I don't wanna end up alone due to being traumatized. I wanna be able to enjoy life, and live it. Not be in a small world, being so negative and depressed.

Well all my life I've been depressed even since middle school, as I got older time separated me and my friends, I literally have 0 friends irl, only friends I have are in online video games I've never even had a gf I'm 20 fucking years old I just want my life to change but I've no clue what the fuck I'm doing

I'm the same way Op here.

I've had suicidal thoughts before middle school, I was anti social, I ended up doing drugs, fucking women left n right, I'm fat, I'm 6'3 but somehow I'm able to get females, the sad part is females don't make me happy, atleast not for long. I honestly don't see how men who go and fuck women are so happy, I still feel like a piece of shit once I'm home alone. I've had luck, but I always end up going back to depression. I feel I'm too sensitive. Any of you guys look into this online therapy bs?

Practical advice:

If you're in school or uni, start with your counselor or health service. They can refer you to someone they trust.

If you're under 18 or in education you may be covered by your parents' health insurance. Ask.

Contact the insurance company and see what they cover. Ask for a list of approved therapists.

After that it's a crapshoot. Make an appointment with a nearby one and see how the first session goes.

Don't get discouraged if things don't work out with the first therapist or two - you need a doctor that you feel comfortable and safe with, and that can take a few tries. I went through four or five myself.

Mental healing is a working process, not laying back and getting a tooth pulled - a good therapist will guide you, teach you techniques, even give you homework assignments if needed, but it's up to YOU to put in the work. It can feel uncomfortable or silly at first, but it gets better.

Good luck OP!
