Hey Beaflower.
I am experiencing some difficult times, and considering getting help. When I think about it, I find it impossible to tell either of my parents, or anyone at all.
However, my best friend. Who is the shyest person ever, and was so afraid to ask her mom to go to the psychologist did it. I am not even exaggerating.
Her mom was aware of her physical problems, but not mental. It took her a while to prepare to tell her mom to go to the psychologist, she didn't tell her what she thinks she has, she asked her to make a visit with the psychologist.
Her mom found out what her mental issues are as my friend found out. The psychologist can share it with the family for you.
Get your mind set to it, seek help from a professional first and get diagnosed.
It will be all good, we can do it !
