For years I have driven past billboards that say something to the effect of "Stubbornness kills more men than anything else."
It's actually true. While some females also do it - denying that you actually have a problem - or not wanting a label - cases a large number of people (especially males) to refuse to seek treatment.
In my case I did not want to have Asthma. I struggled badly for years with significant health effects because I did not want to admit that I had an allergy problem.
Finally one day I was sitting in a business seminar where my hands were so swollen that I could barely bend my fingers, my entier body similarly swollen, and I felt like shit... (not to mention that I could not breath so well). when the speaker hit me with a line that to build a business (any business) that you are going to have to do things you don't want to do - and your refusal to do them are the key things holding you back from success.
The next Monday I scheduled a Dr appointment to talk about my allergy issues... and admitted that I likely had Asthma. It took a couple months to complete all the testing and find which medications worked for me. Life became very beautiful at that point. I had wasted almost a decade of the best years of my life because I did not want to admit I had a disease; and was massively in debt.
Now I have healthy issues that the medical community has no answers for... yet.
Please be willing to admit to others that you have a problem (and not just on this forum) and get help.
I really need help with my drinking?
