Sorry, I wasn't trying to make it sound super easy and simple... I was nervous about it too, but I ending up finding that it's much easier (for me at least) to talk to a psychiatrist or a therapist than a friend or family member. It's obviously a bit tougher face to face, but I found it kind of similar to the way it's easier to post on here and be honest about things.

Plus, most people who become psychs or therapists do it because they have some issues themselves and want to help others with mental issues so you know you're in good company!
