Would you believe that I convinced myself to go for therapy because of a meme? Yes. It was an image I saw on my phone, that pushed me to take the ‘final’ step – to ask for a phone number. It took me two weeks to make the call and set up an appointment.
In talking to peers about the idea, two perceptions popped up prominently:
1. You have to be crazy to seek help for your brain.
2. It is an ‘in’ thing to be in therapy these days.
In searching for a middle ground, and wondering which category my friends would put me in, I went for my first session.
