I've finally gotten over the denial that I'm depressed and have anxiety. I want to get help but don't know where to start. My boyfriend of one year says when I'm in one of my "moods" as he calls it, it makes him not want to marry me anymore. His exwife was diagnosed as bipolar among other things and I'm afraid he'll leave me too.

I was thinking of going to my primary care doc. I worked there for a few years so the doc already knows me and that I'm not just a drug seeker. Outside of work, I've babysat his kids and dogs, etc so he knows me pretty well and what goes on in my life. I've gone to him for simple stuff like colds, shots, uti's, etc, too but I feel like this is more serious. And am afraid of being judged. So I considered going to a a new doc that hasn't seen me before. But that's the problem, they don't know me.

So I was wondering how the appointment will go. Or what my first step should be. Thanks
