I went to my doctor about my symptoms (didn't think it was anxiety or depression though), and she asked me if I was depressed. At first I said no, but then thought about it later on and just knew that things have not been right for me lately. Anyway, I went back then broke down and started crying about things (mainly my job), she recommended I see a counselor and prescribed antidepressants and anti anxiety meds.
I live in a suburban area so there were many choices for me. I did research online to find my therapist. She was one of the few around here that had positive reviews and based on her pic I just felt like she was a good fit for me, it was like I went with my instincts with her...and I'm glad she is my therapist now, she has helped me so much.
I hope you can find someone who's accessible to you. Best of luck.
