Re: "...who seem so comfortable in their pain that they are not willing to get help."

Jon, I understand what you mean, but I think that with a lot of us--especially and including myself--can be afraid to ask for or get help, or to even accept the help. It's like we want it, but we can be afraid, too. I don't have much time to post at the moment. Chat is about to start, and I've got literally about 2,000 new posts to scan from the past two days!
