To be honest, I think I need it sometimes. I'm not crazy or anything, but I bottle up feelings inside. I try to write or paint my feelings out, but having someone to talk to about without critism would be nice. But it's spendy.

Money.

The number one thing that kept me from doing it was the stigmata of being a "nut" whose in therapy. The number two thing was the cost. But that was all trumped by my reason for getting therapy: Desperation and the inability to solve my problems on my own.

26 fl VA offers counseling but i didn't like the people nor feel comfortable, so i am trying to go and pay for it myself but the cost is my major factor for not going. Plus it is hard for me to open up about the stuff i expierenced and went through and i don't think they can understand it fully

Money would be a big reason for me. Also, about half of my family is of the opinion that therapy and psychology are for the weak, and of you have a mental illness you should just 'toughen up and stop being a pussy'. Certain members of my family have been ostracized for having mental illnesses, and I'd rather that not happen to me.
