I seriously need to stop complaining so much to others in the heat of anxiety attacks and obsessive thoughts. I don't think they are getting "the whole picture." Do you sometimes feel it is detrimental to ask for advice since our perspective colored by mental illness?

If you're complaining to others in the heat of anxiety, then anxiety is what they are going to respond to because that is what they see from you.
It's a rare person who can think past your anxiety and give you a balanced opinion/advice based on your whole life; this is, after all, what a pdoc or therapist is for.
