For the past 3 years or so I have had bad anxiety related to a disease I have. Because of this disease I am scared of leaving the house. I hate traveling for longer than 10 minutes and I hate being outside. The thing is, my parents and my doctor know about this and my doctor advised meeting with a psychiatrist who specialises in my people with my disease and anxiety. The idea improving my anxiety sounds great to me since I want to be able to do stuff with my friends such as visiting the amusement park without my anxiety kicking in.

The only thing that makes me debate if I should ask for a meeting are my parents. They are extremely supportive of my anxiety and want to help me as much as possible. However that also means that they prefer I get their help instead of a psychiatrist, someone who might be a professional but also a complete stranger.

So, what am I supposed to do?
