Seek help. It does not make you weak- burying these problems and emotions is dangerous, and talking it out is what helps you see it differently and release these feelings. Often emotional distress will be manifested in what are called psychosomatic illnesses- i.e., your mind makes you physically ill with no toxocoligical or physiological reason for doing so but every bit as real as if it were a physical illness.
I dunno man, I say get help, but if you need somebody to talk to- feel free to write. A'ight?
peace
i do agree with the fact that you can disagree with me. by all means its ok, but the point im trying to get across is the fact that a therapist is a position that isn't really needed. therapy is all around you, you just have to find it. i think he was wise to come to this forum to try to explain whats in his head. its a good start. communication = key!
its all difference of opinion, and atleast in my opinion, he should get a full spectrum of ideas and thoughts, instead of the usual, visit someone who'll listen to your problems.
