I would have to say to be "thankful" you have a good doctor that has recognized it and is going to show you the path for treatment. I dealt with it on my own for years, and I have paid a very hard price. All I have now is a therapist, but it's a start, and I'm extremely grateful because I would not have survived the past 18 months without it.

Ah, as JCM (John Cougar Mellencamp) once sang in a song, I chose to do things my way and I paid a high price. Taken from the song Minutes To Memories.
