Seeking help

I’m going through what I like to call a “crisis” right now. I have been feeling this way for a long time, but recently (a few weeks) my feelings have spiraled out of control. I’m want to look into seeing a therapist but I’m scared. I know that they are supposed to be judgment free and help me but I know if I go there I’ll start to cry and feel awkward. It’s hard for me to open up to my friends and family , so why would a stranger be any different? Or maybe it would be different? My dad has noticed my behavior changing and has asked me what is wrong. I can’t tell him because I truly do not know. I’m hoping that talking to the right people will help.
