hi! i am new to this site (i just joined like a few minutes ago).

my question(or questions):

okay, i know i have a problem with anxiety, and i have a problem with depression. some people tell me i'm bipolar; others just say im depressed. i also struggle with self-harm and have some eating issues too. i want to work on all of this (not at once, though!) but a step at a time.

i attend college part-time. and they have a counseling center that is free to me. ive often thought about going and talking to someone,but im really really afraid. partly cause half the time im not sure whats wrong and dont know if i could vocalise it.

but ive also thought about going to a regular physician for my anxiety and depression because lately its been really bad.

should i just go to the counseling center at my school and talk to them first and let them recommend a physician if they feel i might need medications or should i just go to a physician? i'm so confused about what to do!

thanks for reading and any help would be appreciated!
