I can tell I do it because I tend to think the people in the waiting room, the people on this board, and imaginary people all deserve to see T more than I do. I feel like I should just man up and that I'm fine and I need to leave the resources for people who need help. I tend to think I should be able to help myself because whatever is bothering me is not a big deal. I feel like I am supposed to manage everything that bothers me, all on my own.

I have finally started to see how distorted this is. It took me a while to identify what I was telling myself. I don't know why, but I really believe other people deserve help but I'm just causing myself problems.
