I found it very hard to accept that I was ill. Mostly because my main problem was pretty severe hypochondria anxiety, so I constantly believed that I was physically ill rather than mentally ill. You shouldn't feel like you've failed for having therapy. I think you should feel proud that you did something about your problem and are trying to get it sorted, because so many people don't get help and end up worse for it. It's such an achievement to accept that you're in need of help.
I'm a perfectionist too. A major one! So completely understand :)
