I'm not familiar with this new place, hence I sought advice from a GP where to go for psychiatric care.

She told me that the current place I'm going to is quite good and elaborated with other options.

"You seem rational enough.

You need to focus on the present and look forward to what might be in near future.

Don't let your mind live in the past."

I know this, but there's a rock in my soul that I can't seem to remove.

A rock that no amount of counselling, exercise, self-help books, religion, medication can remove.

Worse, sometimes, the rock cuts into me with its sharp edges.
