There's a big part of me that is angry for you, and I think it's because I know how hard it can be to rely on someone and/or ask for help...or well, anything.
I used to really hate it when I wanted to call my T because I thought I shouldn't/there was something wrong with me/etc.
My T said something once about me just needing to soothe myself..so simple really, and made it more "OK" (for me)I am always so afraid of doing something "wrong"-it's awful really. It's like a surge of shame on the horizon waiting to confirm my worst suspicions of myself. I cling tightly to feeling "self-sufficient"- something in me would hate to think otherwise.
I'd never want to set such ascetic standards for anyone else.
