@Joseph
It would be interesting to consider what would be suitable for bartering for such counsel.
Here’s a Robert Frost poem I found which seems appropriate:

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

I’ve often felt that way about gold. It’s just a piece of metal.

Should I seek help and professional counselling?
