In CRISIS? Hotline #'s in USA are listed here.

The goal of this website is to help people get over the issues which are keeping them stuck. I do this by providing information and meditation aids. But that's not always enough. Many people (maybe most) would also benefit from one-on-one counseling, ideally by a caring, qualified professional, but in many cases even an amateur can help a great deal by lending an ear. To find amateur co-counseling groups in your area, contact Co-Counseling Communities. If you need to talk to someone right now, you can get free, there are many free therapy hotlines depending on your particular concerns.

There's an amazing type of therapy called "Focusing" (not the best name) which works better than most things for PTSD. I know a guy named Oliver who is willing to teach it for free to anyone and also trade time doing it with whoever is serious about healing. His website is here. You can call him on WhatsApp or Signal Messenger (maybe text first, let him know you looked into Focusing therapy and would like to learn more or try it out--do not contact him until you have learned what this therapy is.): +32484009333.

For spiritual counsel & inspiration from a group of folks into Buddhist awakening, check out the facebook group AwakeningToReality, which is moderated by Soh Wei Yu, from the blog of the same name. I'm also available (unless I'm not). And ICEERS.org offers free professional psychedelic integration therapy.

My father always used to tell me how important it is to have a friend that you can call in order to work out disagreements in any relationship. Most people don't do this. They just drop the issue and try to forget about it. That works, but only for some years. After a long time, subconscious resentment builds up, and you start noticing that you don't even like this person anymore, nor do you know why.
My parents were married for about 30 years until my dad died, so it seems that their emphasis on resolving disputes in a timely fashion may have been a wise strategy.
Make a mutual plan not to go to bed angry with anyone that you wish to be close to.
Watch this video by psychologist Jordan Peterson about how to train each other to be better for each other: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VM1UA0pCMQ
Ask your friends if any of them have time to mediate.
And before you turn to seek help from a psychiatrist, make sure to watch this video of psychiatrists who admit they've never cured anyone and they have no proof of any of their diagnoses being valid in the real world.
