| Question??? At the risk of feeling alone...I was wondering how many people have sought counseling from a professional? For reasons other than being yorkie obsessed, lol I've made an appt for the first time and I'm nervous, all of a sudden I feel like a total embarassement and even though my co-workers have no idea...I feel like a drama queen, I just want to hide...lol, course that could all be in my head!

| Chloe, I was in therapy for awhile after my husband died and it really helped alot. I also felt embarrassed to admit I needed help. I was so silly to feel that way because it is a sign of strength to get help when you need it. Good luck and I hope you have as positive experience as I did.

| Just to add, I wish I had gone sooner. I carried around all that stress for so long when I didn't need to. |

chloeTG...I have to agree with everyone...It can only help. I think it's brave what you're doing......IF I could see someone myself...I would too. Take advantage of the fact that you are able to do this and all the best to you. | |

| Going to therapy did wonders for me. I was in for 6-years the first time and just ended a 2-year cycle. I learned so much about myself and became a better person. No one has to know what you are doing unless you tell them. Good luck, and if you ever need to vent I'm here for ya.

| Everyone needs therapy at one time or another. You can get by without it, but it DOES help. So why not make life a little easier and do it? Go and enjoy taking that time for yourself. |

| Nothing to feel guilty about my dear friend. I've been to counseling two different time periods. Both times it helped me deal with difficult situations in my life and I didn't have to put all my burdens on my friends and family members. That's one reason why we go to someone objective.

| therapy V...I used to have health insurance that paid 100% for therapy...I got a Fraudian shrink and went twice a week. Learned alot at first, then ran out of stuff to talk about, he said I was avoiding issues...so I started making up the wildest dreams to talk about...he was on the edge of his chair..LOL THEN...I found a wonderful woman therapist showed me how to be Pat, the crazy, old Yorkie lady and not give a dam what the world thinks of me...LOL It is total freedom..LOL |

Chloe, no one gets through life without pain and sadness and we all have to raise a hand for help from time to time. Thank goodness we live in a time when we can seek this help out and there are medicines to help. I agree with Pat, therapy is a wonderful way to understand who you are and to grow strong with this knowledge.
