I just want to expand on this a little. When I was in college for Human Services, I realized that if I were to continue on in the field that I had no choice but to get help. I couldn't do it, partially because I was afraid that I couldn't afford it, and partially because I just couldn't do it.

Because I couldn't do it, I moved in a different direction not long after graduation. The ultimate struggle, which I initially lost.
