Gorey or not, a therapist is a professional individual who is well trained to differentiate between petty cultural issues and a genuinely disturbed person. I’d say go out and talk to a therapist, maybe there’s some sort of suppressed childhood/adolescent issues and emotions that you never let it go and somehow its now all coming back and interfering with your adult life, trust me, a good psychiatrist will spot that instantly and try his/her best to help you.
