No, I think whatever it takes is ok. It takes a lot of guts to go out of your comfort zone and seek help. I would encourage you to at the very least, seek more information.
Best of luck to you. Everyone needs a nudge every now and then.

* Also... it's getting a slickdeals hug of death because my survey submissions are timing out. I might have to complete these surveys later.
