Butting in here,
I think what you are feeling IS normal, you are frustrated and trying to figure a way out. One of the things therapy can do is help you look at old patterns and change them. Many people, most in fact, go to therapy for just that reason. You don't have to have some huge trauma or diagnosis to make use of therapy.
I do know how expensive it can all get. Sometimes you can a county referral and many nonprofits have a sliding scale. I don't know where you live, so that might make a difference. Church run organizations also have mental health professionals sometimes.
I guess I wanted to jump in because you "sounded" so defeated and sad. Don't give up. You'll find the right person to help you and things will slowly change. Maybe a group would be a good thing right now. At least you would have support.
hugs
Daisy
