Hello @yeah_it_tahtperson
Sorry to hear that you are still falling flat.
It also sounds tough that you are just surrounded by friends which are also not very encouraging.
In regards to reaching out to a trusted teacher or counsellor.
I feel you on that as well, I generally started out avoiding them under the same mindset actually ( that they can’t really do much for me)
But for me as least, sure they can’t do magic, but the main idea would be that you have someone to talk too to share your thoughts and concerns.
Then, they would be able to share some ideas or connect you to some people to help as well.
This repeated cycle of communication helps build up some tips and tricks that might be able to help you out in your situation (as well as help you vent out a bit).
Of course if you are uncomfortable with it, I’m sure the people of reach out would be willing to listen to your progress and your vents as well.
