Whilst I don't believe I was quite as wrong as you suggested I see the point you were trying to make and I agree with you.
Any issue, big or small, is worth sorting out before it gets worse. Until you have sat in the chair at a DCMH you'll have no idea what to expect. Once you realise it mostly just involves a lot of (honest) talking you'll discover there is nothing to fear. Whilst my issue was serious enough to affect my job I still maintain I got off lightly compared to some. The point is though I sought help. The help I got was fantastic and sorted the problem. For now at least. If I ever got an inkling that I was struggling again I would be straight back to the MO in a heartbeat.
Far from being ashamed of the issue I will happily bore anyone who'll listen with the details. In fact I described it on this forum not so long again. I'll post the link if I can remember where it was.
