I had a teacher in high school that suggested that eventually everyone will see a counselor. I always remembered that and later in my life I came to a point that I needed to see one. Among other things, my body was going cuckoo with PMDD and it was affecting my mental health in a BAD way. It was the best money spent and I looked at it as an investment in my health. I hope you find that it is as helpful for you. Sending you a big, gentle hug.
