From one of my study I got this down and I wish to share.

Emotional pain not only forces us to change, it also accompanies the process of change. While usually exciting, learning new ways to think and behave can also be scary and uncomfortable. The old ways of living die hard, under the spur of emotional pain, while new patterns of thought and behavior are born in discomfort and anxiety.

What I regret is when people, because of fear or embarrassment, wait until the last possible moment to seek mental health consultation. Sometimes it is too late to make constructive changes.

Nice post @arckrai
