Hey there, I'm glad you want to seek help for this, anxiety is not fun. If it's gotten to the point that it's interfering with your life or that you really feel like you want help then it couldn't hurt to reach out. While a regular medical doctor can help, I would suggest starting with a mental health professional simply because medical doctors will most likely throw medication at you and while medication can help you, it works best in combination with some kind of counseling. Even a psychiatrist will do a full assessment. If you are in school you can probably get free or reduced rate counseling at your school. None of these professionals will judge you for anything.
