The guy is super down to earth, very similar mindset to me. It's just so fun to be able to talk to someone and not be judged. What makes it weird, is I have this one friend who told me I should refrain from counseling, bottle up my feelings and just move on from my life, start fresh as if the last 10 years of my life never happened. With all the shit going on in my life, that feels really hard to do personally (disowned family over COVID, dying brother, dead wife, everyone in my family took the vaccine except for me, having to deal with the fact my entire family is going to essentially be dead in around 5 years or less). There's so many moving pieces, my brain simply can no longer comprehend the path forward.
I am moving them as fast as my brain can process them, be it estate planning or whatever, but it seems like a losing battle, where every battle my brain solves, two new problems get created. One of the hard part of estate planning is I have zero beneficiaries I can even send my estate to. Even though I have a terminal condition, it's looking like I will somehow supersede my entire family in life, which is really messed up to think about, but when it comes to planning out years out, it makes everything super complicated. Outside of a foundation or something, I honestly have no clue what the next steps are.
I can definitely see the whole doing your due diligence on the counselor, but why does it seem like everyone around me always seems to give me batshit terrible advice. it always interests me because if the advice worked so well, it would work for the person suggesting it. And yet, what I end up seeing a lot if batshit crazy people giving me advice that clearly didn't work on them, as if its the gospel of Christ.
