Bad analogy

And the problem isn't the people involved here, it's (to use a very bad analogy) that I'm trying to buy lunch in a shoe store.  I need to either just buy shoes, or move along to a place that actually sells food (preferably healthy.) And stop hoping to find what's never gonna be available where I'm looking for it. Of course the question is "how?"

I think I might go see some sorta' healer or therapist. I knew this half my life ago (though forgot about it in the intervening years), and it's still an issue and I don't want to live however many years are left of my life, like this. I want to get out of my own way.
