Ah, gotcha. Was trying to figure out where you found an open confessional at 8 AM in the middle of the week! 
You’ve got better resources than I do— we get scheduled confession once during Lent, and once during Advent.

Why are you being so flippant about a Sacrament?
You are interacting with God in confession.
Be respectful and listen to the priest.

That’s a sign of a good priest. He loves God very much. He will probably pray for you and try to make reparation for your sin. I will also pray for both you and that poor priest.

The feeling I got from the priest was very bad

It’s good that you’re going. But you need to go in the right, respectful frame of mind.

Yes, but when you’re talking to someone in lala land, surely you notice?
Suppose someone’s trying to help you with your math. And it’s going totally over your head. Do you think the other person can’t tell that it’s not having any effect?
Now put it in a sacramental context.

You have a lot to take care of. Good luck with your treatment, and good luck with your path back.

Why are you going? (It’s not meant as a rude or rhetorical question… I have a reason for asking I’ll come back to after you answer.)

Ok… then why aren’t you making any effort to reconnect? Yes, you’re showing up, but you’re not trying.
If you had lost touch with your grandmother, would you just go to her house, sit without saying much, and not even listen to her when she talks, and expect a better relationship? The thing is, I’ll bet she would love you for it all the same, but you wouldn’t really have a connection. God is much the same way, except I can guarantee that he loves you.
What do you think is the obstacle? What’s holding you back?
