I think it all depends on how uncomfortable you are with your mental state. If that anxiety you feel outweighs the anxiety you have over seeing a therapist. I approached therapy as if I were jumping into a cold pool. It's not like I want to jump in and experience all those uncomfortable feelings. However I am so uncomfortable with myself that I am willing to experience that discomfort of sharing with the therapist if it means I don't have to experience that internal discomfort I have been feeling. Sometimes I write down the things I can't talk about and just show them to the therapist because it's easier than talking about it. When I was assured my therapist wasn't going to lock me up for being crazy it was much easier to talk
