Have you ever seen a shrink?

Have you ever been to a psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, analyst, etc? Or maybe an intimate of yours has, and you know about it?

If so, could you tell me about it? Like, where did you find the person? How much did it cost? What were your problems, and how did they help – or did they help at all? I realize this is a sensitive topic, so any information you feel comfortable sharing would be appreciated by me.

Basically, I have considered myself a “high-functioning” crazy person for awhile now, and I’m starting to think it would be a good idea to talk to someone about it, but I am far from rich and uninsured so I don’t really know what to do, and the idea is very foreign to me…
