I think it is very courageous that you are not afraid to ask for help.
I also want to congratulate you on the tone of your post as well as the good job you did in expressing yourself. I have to say you expressed yourself better than many I have read on the boards.
Asking for help to feel better is the right thing to do. If you are not seeing a psychologist you may need to in order to wade through the feelings you are dealing with. In that regard, you are perfectly normal Mon. Every one of us have "baggage" in our hearts but most of us do not deal with it at all. We carry it around and it colors our response to the world around us. So you are better and smarter than most for seeking to improve. I'd say you are better than normal in that regard.
There will always be cruel people who say ugly things. It's just a fact of life. We all have to find a way to focus on the words and encouragement of those who are positive and loving towards us. Feed the good part of yourself.
May you find the peace you seek. Best wishes to you friend.

I really want to see a psychologist, but the first thing that comes to my parents mind is "money, money money,". Money is not important when it comes to something like this!
