I can completely understand the whole psych major thing. You can end up thinking how can I possibly be healthy enough to help other people when I can't even help myself. I've personally adopted the theory that learning the academic material, and spending my own time in therapy is the best possible thing for me. They tend to recommend that psychologists see someone themselves, if for no other reason than to determine what areas might trigger them or cause there own biases to appear. We're just doing it early. About going to therapy, I'm not sure how much misery is too much to handle by yourself and with friend, I probably take it to far, and would have done far better seeking help earlier. However it's your own choice and we will support you whatever you do. Hope you feel better, and feel free to PM me at anytime.
