I've found that this is one of the big reasons that many people I know don't seek help, or waited (too) long to do so. Especially for people living alone who can acceptably 'curate' their existence when around others, it's very easy to lose perspective on what is 'normal' or 'healthy'.

It's made me wonder if it might be good to consider going to a psychologist something akin to a yearly dentist checkup.
