(((((fifth sonata)))))
I really wish I had had the courage to seek help many years ago. I am scarred all over my body and can't even fulfill my role at work because of my scars (i.e. when we take the kids swimming each week I am the only staff member who can't go). I finally got myself into therapy last year, which was when I FELT ready and felt able to ask for help. I also found a therapist who I felt completely comfortable with and who I trust and have a great relationship with. I tried asking for help for 14 years before I finally got there- each time I would chicken out or ignore the appts... I really hope that you are able to find the courage to get the help you deserve (and you deserve as much help as the person beside you...). At least you have found PC, and you will get as much love and support here as you could ever hope for Good luck.
