Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes learning1!

Even though I know better, I guess I still subconsciously feel like therapy is for those who have disorders that are more medical in nature and everyone else (including myself) should just "buck up" like they did decades ago when treatment was not readily available. Then I think, those were people who needed help but did not have the opportunity, so if we do we should take advantage of it and realize it takes courage to "buck up" and ask for help, unlike those stoic and prideful to a fault people from ages past. (btw, I am good at arguing for and against things )
