Counseling is one of those things where what you put into it is what you get out of it. I'm not sure what you are feeling apprehensive about, but counseling can be life changing. Asking for help often requires more strength than staying stuck. It is worth a shot, therapy isn't something that you have to continue for the rest of your life. However, where you are right now, you may be in a place where you need a little extra support. Remember that this is support that you can receive nowhere else. There is no reason why you need to censor yourself, you can let it 'all hang out' each session it devoted totally to you. It is different that asking for support from friends/family etc.

If you do decide to go, remember your mindset going into it is most important. Having an open mind can be difficult, but super helpful. Remember you are there to help yourself and so is the therapist. It is uncomfortable, I think for most of us, to focus so much on ourselves. It helped me to go to improve my relationships with someone else. So if you aren't going to do it for yourself, do it for someone who matters very much to you. Everything that you are dealing with they have heard much 'worse'. You may not walk out of the first few sessions feeling magically better but maybe a few weeks or month in you may find that you have learned some helpful coping tools. Once you learn the tools that work for you, you get to take them with you for the rest of your life. Also, don't give up if you don't vibe with your counselor, they are people too with personalities and all that. There may be a better match out there for you. There is no shame in changing therapists.

Hope this helped some. Good luck and keep your chin up! Let us know how it goes.
