 I don't even know where to start. |
Yeah. No.
NOT therapy.

She sounded kinda squirrely, tbh. If I can actually get an appt w/ the other guy, I'm gonna call her and cancel; I just feel more comfortable with a gay therapist.

Personally, I wouldn't go to see anyone in the same practice as the "pray away" lady. Just the fact that they're associated with her would worry me. I would hold out for the other one.

Now I can't find a therapist who seems to both 1) have his/her act together, and 2) isn't some weirdo Christian voodoo doctor.

Dude, I hate to say it but that's just life.
Happens to all of us. Although, I'm thinking you're seeking out a therapist partially because you KNOW these regular activities of daily life shouldn't make you NOT want to get out of bed. Yes?
BTW - My husband's cough has been around for 2 weeks & shows no signs of going away. I think he's going to have to bite the bullet & go to the MD. I do think that it started out as a general virus, but now I fear he may have developed pneumonia.
