I'm considering seeing a therapist because I'm getting desperate to do something for my anxiety. I've been through a lot of emotional stuff in this past year and just kind of shut down and started feeling scared of everyone and everything and started avoiding stuff. It's to the point I'm terrified of interacting with people for any reason and I don't want to leave my apartment.

I have a regular doctor visit coming up (will be first time going outside in weeks) and I am thinking about asking them. Should I bring it up and how to do it without seeming stupidly awkward?

This is a problem I've really had my whole life and it's already on my medical record. I used to go to therapists when I was a teenager but haven't been since I've been an adult because it never did much of anything for me. I'm hoping that was just a bad experience and someone else will be able to help. I really just want to be able to get at least somewhat normal again and stop feeling like a wuss about everything.

Bump for adv. This IS a stupid idea after all, isn't it?

There's no harm in at least trying therapy to find out if it's for you OP. If not either push yourself to change or kys, preferably the former

I'm just worried it'll end up being like it was back when I was younger and end up doing more harm than good and not helping a thing. I don't know how I should get this whole process started though, I haven't tried therapy in 10+ years

Are you a neet? If not, who cares if you don't want to leave your apartment? You're a free man, not leeching, and you aren't obligated to be a social butterfly. Nobody is judging you, in fact, nobody gives you any mind at all outside of your usefulness to them. So do what keeps you comfortable.

This is only an issue if it's keeping you dependent on others.
