I think a lot of people feel that way, to an extent. I had someone I barely knew and would never see again unburden themselves to me this summer, and I've surprised myself at some of the things I've shared with strangers.

We never have to see strangers again, but we do have to see our friends and family. If it's easier for you to talk to a new doctor about these problems, go for it. Don't drive yourself mad by thinking that you can only get help if you force yourself to do something you don't want to.
