How do I go about starting therapy?

[RetroRainner7]

Recently my anxiety has worsened. I rarely have an appetite anymore. And even when I do feel hungry, the thought of food makes me sick. Eating makes me feel like throwing up even if it’s just some fruits. It’s stsrting to affect my life and I finally feel ready to talk to someone. How do I go about starting therapy? Do I go to my regular healthcare provider? Any advice on this subject would be much appreciated.

Hi RetroRainner7 and welcome

I would suggest going to your usual doctor, explain how you feel and press for therapy. Doctors tend to prescribe meds rather then therapy, but in order to really help you, you need to work on the root of your problems. Meds should only accompany therapy. Ask for CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) and counselling.
