He is there to help you and help you through whatever ails you. Sometimes we need additional help besides our friends and family; even those closest to us. Sometimes, we don't even know we need help, lie to ourselves that we aren't that bad off, when in actuallity, we are burnt out like a roasted marshmallow on a hot log that can't be truly saved. It is awesome that you are taking this step, it tells you that you are ready to take charge of your condition and the battles before you....
Keep us posted
