Feel free to ignore but I'd like to make a suggestion - something to try to improve mental health that is NOT therapy.

And that suggestion is - switch to a low-carb diet. Either carnivore, or keto, or low-carb. That can improve your mental health dramatically, all across the board - mood, sleep quality, emotional stability, alertness and energy.

Consider watching some interviews with Dr. Georgia Ede, author of Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind. She's done some really outstanding research on exactly why and how low carb seems to really improve mental health for a lot of people.

I'd had a couple therapists over the years. It's lots of work to find them, trying to get recommendations, etc. And none of them were any good.

Without divulging too much I’m not seeking the kind of therapy you might think. I’m not trying to cure depression or anxiety with therapy. I’m just trying to talk with someone about personal things.

Sometimes these personal things you're dwelling on and not processing on your own or a partner or parents or a siblings or friends are simply due to a lack of iron or some other deficiency like your gut micro-biom being disturbed.

I wouldn't make the assumption that your analogy of offloading hazardous waste to a professional is particularly healthy or helpful.

Sometimes you just need to own your shit.
