In a way, I agree with them. Just because you have a degree means nothing, a good friend or family member can listen just as well if they are inclined. But I'm really very private with these issues, which is why I prefer forums such as this.

You may be right in your own pursuits and fancy, however, since your brain is a organ and tissue, it can get sick just like any other part of your body... Some psychological professionals are trained to assist you come to an civilized conclusion satisfactory to your psyche. Moreover, a psychiatrist who is a medical doctor can prescribe medications that can heal the illness that your genetics in your brain suffers.
It is cool to "stand on your own 2 feet" and "lift yourself up by your own bootstraps". However, it is more humane to yourself as well as everyone else when we live in a civilized society when you can accept the fact that you need help...

I disagree that I've dumped on anyone, though...The discussion actually turns from substance to content and categorization and appropriateness.
What I expect to get from posting: what anyone expect to get from posting... maybe a good discussion where we learn from each other.

IMHO, you should have posted in the "Dating and Relationships". Yes, I know, big whoopdee doo... But, you are saying you want to learn something from each other... Well, I am quite learned and I have several degrees. But, what I have most, is life experience from very bad storms in my life... So, I know it hurts.
How come you are so very hot and bothered by one woman?
