Is this more like someone who is there to listen to your problems and thereby a feeling of getting things bothering you out of your system? Or, in many cases, are they helpful in giving advice on how to deal with issues?

It might be helpful to talk to a professional. I have found so far, just after a few months, that loving family and friends are exhausted by me not getting better and NOT understanding my symptoms at all.

I saw a counselor just to find some coping strategies and all I got back was reflecting constantly (repeating what was just heard). She was nice, but not really that helpful.

Hope you find the help you seek.

These symptoms that change so much are challenging for the strongest and most sane as well.
