I was
terrified when I first walked into my pdoc's office a little over a year ago. I didn't want to be there.......didn't want anyone to see me go in......didn't want to talk about the fear that I might be bipolar. But I did it anyway, and he had me at "Hello, how are you? And what can I do for you?"
Sometimes, you've just gotta hold your nose and jump in; if the Fates are kind, you'll have someone in your life who listens to you, doesn't judge you, and is 110% on your side. Even if s/he tells you things you wish you didn't have to hear, and forces you to think and grow even when it makes you uncomfortable.
