It is the most difficult thing, for me anyways, to ask for help, but my life has continued and improved because of it. With the right treatment I was able to return to college and participate in social activities again. I have relapsed from time to time, but I believe the help was invaluable.
I would strongly urge you to get help because if you think you need it, you probably do. As for talking to your doctor, you can right it down what you need to say in a notebook and read it off the notebook or just hand it over.
I hope it goes well for you.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
