A while back, I had a bit of a panic attack and felt some anxiety creeping up on me, so I went for a 'charity' counselling.

Its where they help with the first few sessions via a 'donation basis' and if you really have a case, they refer you to more formal help.

So... it does feel better, if anything, talking it out, expressing feelings into words makes me see things more objectively, and telling it to someone trained to help cope with these feelings? even better.

Life is hard as it is... getting help is not a weakness, but strength.
