I personally took myself off to counselling. I was at a point where I needed someone to help me, and the stigma of 'seeing a professional' or being scared of the process was pretty diminished by the time I sought help. I needed something.. I had come a long way on my own, but I needed help with the rest.

It was a hard task to undertake.. with my reduced capacity (as I'd like to refer to is as), I spent two years seeking help. I went to about 5 different people in that period of time before I found someone I trusted with the job. That was really important.

Another option we have in Australia is pretty much like AA, except it's called EA (Emotions Anonymous).. a twelve step system that I thought was really worthwhile. It addressed emotional issues directly in an accepting and comforting environment. Do you have an equivolent where you are?

I would say embrace it! Best thing I ever did for myself!

All the best to you!
