Hi ~ I know what you mean. For a long time, I suffered from anxiety and I felt foolish going to the doctor and telling her about it -- so I didn't for a long time. I figured she'd think I was nuts!  But finally when it got to the point where I was almost FAINTING out in public, I had to bite the bullet and admit that I was suffering from it.
Low and behold, she didn't think I was nuts.  She totally understood - and she put me on medication.
It's funny what we'll put ourselves thru just because of what we THINK will happen if we admit to being anxious. Our minds tell us such "stories" -- and 99% of these stories are pure bunk! lol I'm just grateful that 'something' gave me the nerve to go to the doctor. I hated feeling like that.
