I already have found out some ways on my own to cope better.But I can't "heal" it completely.And I have also started a therapy now.It seems like my psychotherapist understands me but I'm not really sure whether he can help me or not. ( I was only once there and my second date will be next week)

I could talk a lot about it. So what exactly do you want to know ? :-)

I don't think there is a clear answer.It depends on how you define rationality and intelligence.But they are definitely not the same.
