Getting yourself together to look for the help,
professional help, and you're told, "OK, you're going
to be interviewed by a psychiatrist."
For me, I didn't, to be totally honest my thought was,
"They're going to find out I'm crazy and they're going
to lock me up and put me away."
Because I know that some of my behaviors were predicated
on my emotional state.

and talk with the shrink,
that it had also attacked my masculinity, my manhood,
my sense of "I can handle it," when in fact,
I was falling apart inside.

from that first session thinking, "You know,
maybe they can do something for me."
