What would you say to someone who is trying to make the very difficult step to call a doctor? I've been a lurker on this board for a while now and after some heavy researching on my own, I believe I am ready to meet with a doctor... but making that step is SO hard. Did anyone else experience this? I feel so ashamed and embarrassed and I know when I do meet with a doctor it'll be a teary therapy session of flowing feelings. I hope that makes sense... I suppose I'm just easily embarrassed and nervous to go and admit that I need help. Any help/experience/advice would be appreciated, thank you! Sarah
