Ask your primary care physician if he or she knows anyone that can help you.
3. Your fears and anxieties could get worse. If you don’t address your anxieties and stresses, then there is a chance that your anxieties could get worse or could lead into other health problems. If you fears and anxieties just won’t go away or they are interfering with your life, its best to seek help before things get worse.
4. Getting help can relieve your suffering. As you work with a professional, you will improve on your skill sets in managing your stresses. You will become better in time which will benefit you as time goes by. If you don’t get help, then there is a chance that you will continue to suffer.

Your fears and anxieties will not go away by themselves. Instead of suffering everyday with your anxieties, seek help so you can live a happier life. Do not be ashamed to ask for help.
