Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Face your fears.: I don't know anyone who initially feels comfortable with the idea of having a mental health condition or with seeing a mental health provider. If you want to move past this - you need to move through it first. Seek help from a psychiatrist ;/or psychologist. Good luck.
