It can be worth it to push through. However, often, what is a huge issue to you, is far smaller to others. Once you start breaking it down, with someone who knows what they are doing, the problem ends up a lot smaller than it seemed.

This sounds a lot like "it is what it is" by recommending pushing through and then minimizing concerns. Why would they be pushing through to go to therapy just to have their concerns minimized?

Maybe I misread it.

I think the key phrase there is with someone who knows what they're doing, ie a therapist. A lot of things people are dealing with feel insurmountable without someone who understands mental health helping you to break it down and figure out what you can change (or not). That's an oversimplification obviously, but if it was simple nobody would need therapy.

I'm not perfect.

No worries, sorry if it came off like I was jumping down your throat.

It's all good, we were just focusing on different parts.
