You are doing extremely well with this. The trick of life is to find the balance. In your case, you could have gone one extreme: submitted to the doctor and stayed there being miserable... in the long run the stay may have helped you or may not have, but in either case would not have been optimum) or you could have gone the other way: come home anxious from the experience saying "well I tried it, it didn't work, so I'm not going to try anything anymore.

The solution lies somewhere in the middle, not just anywhere in the middle but there is some really good place in the middle where everything will work best, and it really feels like you are actively seeking and finding that right balance for yourself. (In some ways, the "actively seeking" is more important than where you actually end up, because there is always room for adjustment once you get there.... and you seem to be "hip" to that.)
