Just because it differs from your opinion, doesn't mean it's rubbish.

A couple of years ago I was in a near-crisis, 'emergency' type situation and I sought support from someone other than a professional. With that person's help, I was able to patch myself back together and continue functioning, but about a month later I ended up in an even worse situation and almost succeeded in very serious sui attempt.

If I had sought professional help in the first place, I would have received the major intervention that I needed and the second situation probably never would have happened.
