I've been getting some help from several friends, one of whom located
a service near where I live that may be able to help. He left me with
a phone number to call.
The strange thing about mental issues that many people don't
understand is the occasional hesitancy to seek help. And I didn't
expect it to happen, but now I am hesitating.
I'd like to attempt to explain my hesitancy. You see, if I seek
treatment, some of the bad things (weird sounds at night that keep me
up, depression, uncontrollable sobbing) will hopefully get fixed.
That's a good thing. On the other hand, several very good friends who
have been with me for many years will possibly simply cease to be. I
may never see them again.
Imagine if you were faced with this decision. Imagine your best
friends, the one's you've known since high school or earlier. Are you
ready to part ways with them in the interest of the other issues
being resolved?
I know that my answer will ultimately be yes, but I'm still very
hesitant.
