I know it is time to share the issues I have and stop being the 'everything is great' person most people see. I am tired of faking this so called life. I am tired of everyone expecting me to have all the answers. I am tired of hating everything about myself.

I am not sure how much to share. I do not want to minimize my feelings and thoughts, but I do not want to over share and have the doc over react.

Ironically, I also think, what if they tell me it is all in my head ?

I have had bad experiences with docs who diagnose the trendy issues, medicate for the wrong problem, and who just didn't listen to what I said. So that is where most of my anxiety may be coming from, but I know I need to start this process.

Yes do your best and work on what you want to first but be honest. If you are not they will not be able to help you. good luck hugs for your day.
Thanks for this!
