You'd do it

Well, I guess I'll be putting a USB 360 controller in my travel bag.

I mean... I don't say I've visited Norway because I spent 45 minutes in the Oslo airport for a layover. I think you're kind of taking the piss here. I honestly would find it hard to take any advice from you as to which park to visit based on what you're doing here and I don't think anyone should. You're spending more time in the car than you are in the parks themselves. I'd be more interested in your review of the highway system or the car you drive than your opinion about any of these parks.

But god never gives us anything more than we can handle.

Yea go fuck yourself (e: just to be clear I mean the assholes who say the above kind of nonsense, not you) and the god you rode in with. Tell that to my friend who killed himself because what he was dealing with was way fucking more than he could deal with. Or my friend who had to terminate a pregnancy because the baby had no skull. Fuck. If there is a god who would put people through shit like that or what you and many others here have had to go through, he can go right ahead and get fucked, I've got no interest in being associated with such an asshole.

I've been thinking about going to see a therapist for a while. I've been married for ten years, together for fifteen, no major issues other than different "love languages" and mismatched sex drives. But I've held onto a lot of baggage from past relationships (I was cheated on in most of the long term relationships I've been in, not this one though) and have made some mistakes on handling situations that are definitely linked to that baggage. I also have a bunch of anxiety challenges and self esteem. It's all really fun stuff.

So I've been looking for a therapist through Spring Health since my insurance gives me a bunch of sessions before I have to pay out of pocket and where I live I just couldn't afford to pay out of pocket.

How do I actually pick a therapist? I end up looking through profiles and credentials and either roll my eyes at things that are written in their profiles or find myself comparing their credentials (LCSW vs LMFT. Phd, PsyD, MS, etc.), something I'm not even remotely qualified to analyze. I also compare these potential therapists to a friend of mine who is an LCSW and it kinda horrifies me that she is in a position to give anyone advice about just about anything, so I get hung up on that as well. And I have some sexual hang ups that maybe would be appropriate for a sex therapist, which Spring doesn't employ.

Anyway, that's all a really long question, any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
