My fear in asking for help is "what will I say, how will I make them understand?" It was sooo hard. Thankfully I found this site and had written of my fear. I just printed off my post about it and gave it to my new therapist. It worked wonders. Your post really puts out there so many of your fears including the fear of rejection from the person who you are asking help from. Just print that off and give it to your therapist on the first meeting. I know making the first appointment will be hard but at least you have something in your hand that breaks the ice and gets things started without you having to actually say a word.
