A miracle!

The problems that exist in the mind aren't like other problems in life. Usually when you leave a problem alone there's a good chance someone will come along eventually to fix it. Your brain isn't like that. There is no janitor to come in and clean things for you, there's no maintenance guy to fix the leaky pipes, there's no engineer to ask for advice about the schematics.

Problems that are left alone in the mind don't stay the same size or eventually get solved by someone else. Problem that are left alone in the mind can only grow.

I know you don't want to talk about the professional about your problems, but if you can manage to be brave enough to try and give them a chance to help you, I'm certain you're strong enough to work through this.
