I also had the macho beliefs

that if I admitted there was something wrong then I

was defective.

I was concerned about how other people would interact with me,

the labels that I would carry through the rest of my life,

all kinds of nonsense.

But as I got help the thing that I learned is

that every individual is a human being

and they can only take so much.

And I had finally hit my breaking point

where I couldn't do it myself anymore.

I thought I could.

It's difficult.
