I WAS opposed. Fear of being seen as weak. That's changed but it took some time and help. I am still a little bothered by being seen as weak among certain personality types. But nowadays I'm apt to snarl a $%#%@ off to any negative references. I have and it's been enough to make myself clear. I'm still bothered inside at times but they won't ever see it.

After years of on and off meds runs, I've come to realize the benefits. It's called reality. Get it done and feel better. Ignorance, pride and the 'big balls' bluff? They remedy nothing. Real men have the crackerjacks to do their meds and carry on. haha...Ooo...I guess I'm a 'real' man!...well you know what I mean. There's a myth to manhood. Self awareness is a big part of that. Too much self-image making is a detriment.

There's a lot to this stuff...much to do with social/economic/background education/geography...all kinds of stuff. There may always exist a subtype that'll eschew this kind of help, preferring mythic stoicism. Modern man...in our society anyways, have long not needed such defensive posturing. And that's just what it is. Don't show weakness or the barbarians will be at the gates....Og from the cave next door will bop you with a rock, steal your woman and make off with your fire. Don't. Show. Weakness.

Bull. Shite.
