I'm sorry, I can't. It feels exactly like a crime, I felt like a criminal, the hospital program felt like a jail, the "medical care" afterwards felt like parole.

I wish I could feel the way you want, but I can't. It feels like a crime, a moral transgression, a breach of ethics and the social contract, and a moral failing.
