It's weird how being on here for even just a few days feels like it puts my problems into a slightly different perspective. I'm starting to feel like my life isn't so bad and maybe I'm just being too whiny about everything. On the other hand, if I went looking for help then I have a problem and comparing my situation and my ability to deal to others who have a completely different starting/current point in their own healing seems counter intuitive. Yes, my situation is not so bad compared to what some people are currently experiencing, but not getting help means that my own problems are going to escalate to the point where I may become the measurement of "at least I'm not dealing with that".
Still, I feel a little guilty, like my being here is wasting time that could be spent on people who are obviously in much more need. I understand on a logical level that this sort of thinking isn't going to help my situation, but I can't completely shake the feeling.
