hello Toodepressed, welcome to the forum, and you aren't the only person who finds it difficult talking to their doctor let alone a psychologist, because what it does is that could open up the problems which you are struggling with, and that's a fear that frightens you.
This site doesn't allow people to know where to contact someone personally, the only way it can be done is through this forum, simply because if it was allowed then a situation may turn out to be ugly, where one person wants to stop the connection but the other person wants to still be involved with them.
Nobody knows who you are or what you look like, so it's an anonymous site, where everybody tries to help those that they can relate with.
There is never any criticism only advice, help and support because otherwise then it wouldn't be posted.
It's different than talking to a psychologist, most of the time people want to vent and this is where they can do it, so please don't be afraid. Geoff.
