Dear Boxturtle,
Thanks for sharing with us, and now I do believe you have taken the first step in getting better..... YOU are talking about your problems.
And Yes, I understand what you are saying about why men are generally not the ones that are seeking a counselor or taking medicine.... for it is in their blue print as males to FIX IT / SOLVE IT them self's..... therefore it is difficult for them to take that first step to recovery with another person involved.
LoVe,
