When I first started to come here, I had never talke dto anyone about any of this stuff - and I feel like it's taken me ages to 'open up'. Part of that was the feeling I had of 'not being worthy' or my stuff being insignificant and also the worry of making someone else feel bad and the fear that I am wasting peoples time.

I know what you've said makes sense but sometimes it's hard hear your inner voice when the paranoia is screaming at you.
