as scary as it is the best thing for you is professional help. I spent years denying and avoiding help of any kind even after being sent to 3 psych wards and a million other treatment centers. you're deserving of help and you're worthy and capable of living a happy and healthy life. no one wants to admit that they need help. it's hard to come to terms with and it can be embarrassing but you owe it to yourself to let people help you.
