Just a question: do you really think it's necessary to see a shrink for it? I've always had the impression - please correct me if I'm wrong - that in the USA going to the shrink is a kind of a trend, and too many people tend to "overuse" shrinks as a solution to their problems, instead of fixing their problems themselves. Am I wrong?
I don't want to seem rude but I've always thought that the solutions each of us can give to his own problems are a million times better than the ones provided by someone that has nothing to do with our lives, except getting paid for putting their nose in people's own business. The human mind is something incredibly complex and unique, and that's why I believe that in each one of us lies the best psychologist ever we can trust for pushing ourselves out of our OWN problems.
Discussing this topic with my english teacher, many years ago, she told me: "not anyone can be as strong as you"... maybe that's true, but I still fail to understand why people expect to find better answers from someone that the day before they didn't even know, and the day after is supposed to find a solution to their lives... for money. If you need to talk to someone, I'd rather choose a close friend, or a relative, that is willing to help you and listen to you. Call me closeminded, out-of-date, or whatever you like but I'd never - NEVER - go telling my own business to someone I don't even know.
About the "getting up in the morning" thing.... why does it have to be necessarily so bad? If I'm not busy in the morning I usually sleep till late, as waking up early is something I've always hated, and sleeping is one of my favourite activities....

Then sometimes I work till late at night, but always better than waking up at 6 a.m.....
