I find it helpful to talk to a therapist.
it's nice to have somebody to talk too.

I suffered from psychosomatism for about a year before i went to a psychiatrist. After about 6 sessions of cognitive behavioural theraphy (i.e. talking), I was as good as new. However, theraphy only works if you are committed. The doctor cannot fix you, you have to fix you. The doctor just knows the best way to do it. Plus, it can feel quite liberating to talk to someone on the outside, someone objective and who tries their best to understand you. These are my two cents. Worth it, if you ask me.

I forgot to add something. If you do go forward with theraphy, get a male therapist if you are male and a female one if you are female. That is because sexes think differently and the same sex, of course, can relate better.

Therapy has helped me and my depression and anxieties more than the medication has (though that has helped as well). My mandatory and quite affordable health-care insurance covered the cost of the therapy and like 99% of the cost of medication.

There is some truth to what >>18576753 says, but most important is that your therapist knows their stuff. I've had sessions with really great therapists of both sexes.
