    I have so much self awareness than I’m afraid that talking to a professional I will sound like I’m trying to trick them into thinking I have a mental disease. To the point that I think I’ve convinced myself that I’m lying to myself about my mental problems. So I don’t, because I have a lot of respect for people I know who have actual mental disorders.

      A good therapist wouldn’t judge you even if that were the case, so I’d say go for it if you really want to.

      Plus, “I’m concerned that I might be overthinking symptoms X, Y, and Z” is a good enough place to start as any.
