I feel like therapy won't help me...

I haven't told anyone about my mental health outside of this site. I am screwed-up mentally. Whenever I try and talk about my feelings (even on here), I break down and start crying. See, I hate crying, it makes me anxious. I hate crying alone, and in front of people. When I cry, I feel weak and childish. So going to a therapist and talking about my numerous mental health issues would be nervewracking for many reasons. I don't want to be judged more than I already am, and I've made steps towards recovery by myself. I know I should tell my parents, but a part of me says that these problems will go away soon. What should I do? I'm really confused

I completely understand. I have felt the same way. I didn't think therapy would help either, but I was forced to go. and let me tell you.having someone to talk to, to listen, to offer help, to want to help... its an amazing thing.

Honestly, I feel like I'll be judged if I go to therapy. Also, my sister goes to therapy and it's stressful for my parents. I don't want to cause more stress for them

I honestly hated it when I was in it because she brought up a lot of my past & she made me feel like shit & made me cry.
