I agree with what others have already said. It's normal to fear a dx of a mental illness. I kept my dissociation a secret for five years because I feared being dx'd with DID (which I eventually was indeed). On the other hand, once I got the dx, I could get treatment. So if your symptoms are bad enough, I would say kick yourself in the butt and go.
