Hi Troy,

You are not "crazy" and never were, my friend.......

The criteria for dx someone as clinically insane is infinitely complex...

And to answer your question, seeking help is definitely in your favour. There is great courage in taking the step to firstly admit that there are issues you need help with, and secondly ASKING for the help.......it is very, vert hard.......in saying this you will not be declared "crazy" if you do or don't, sweets. Any T will tell you that is a very exciting moment for them, when you finally say, "This is what I am dealing with......how can you help me?" It makes their day........for it means that you are ready to "take the challenge" of healing.......they LOVE that.......or so it has been in my experience.....

You are suffering immensely, yes......but you are also insightful, aware, honest, intelligent and warm........people who are clinically insane do not ask for help.......for they do not understand the reality of their situation.

So in asking for help, you look more sane......than if you don't.......thats been my experience with the obvious signs of impending psychosis......my psych hospital are infinitely more giving and understanding if I present before psychosis actually hits........For it is easier to help me that way. It is my responsibility.......

Take good care.......I understand your conundrum.......you can do it.......you are too important to suffer timelessly, my friend...... Have I made sense
