How do I tell my therapist I don’t want to see her anymore?

43 Upvotes

I’ve been seeing a new therapist for about two months, and honestly I just don’t think she’s a good fit for me. She pretty much invalidates all of my feelings as just anxiety and cuts me off in the middle of my explanations to just point blank tell me what’s wrong with me, but she never offers me any sort of help fixing those problems. I feel stuck between feeling like I should give her more time and see where it goes, and feeling like I never want to talk to her again. How should I go about ending my sessions with her in a polite and professional way?

How do i fill out a rental application form

6 Upvotes

Im looking to rent for the first time and im filling out a form with a private landlord so everythings been over text and email as opposed to applying through a website. I have a few questions im not sure how to answer.
Type of account? (This is following a question about my monthly income so im assuming it means bank account? But i want to confirm)
Reference contact and name? (Ive never rented before so i dont have rental references and im keeping my move a secret from all family so i couldnt list any family)
Desired move in date? (Do i need to have a concrete date? Ive only been talking to this person for a day i dont have a plan down to the date yet)
How many months lease do you want to sign? (How long is average? 12 months? Should i do shorter since its my first time?)

How do I go engagement ring shopping?

6 Upvotes

Hello! I (23f) and my bf (28m) have been together for about 4 years and have started talking about getting engaged. I’ve done lots of looking at rings online but would love to try some on in person. Is it normal to go to a jewelry store and try a million on without intending to buy? How do I ask for that? Is there an etiquette I should know? I have general ideas of what I like but I want to try on a bunch of different styles. Is that something he should go with me for? I tend to struggle with things like this when I feel like there are “secret rules” I may not be aware of. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)
