Not sure why you'd live up in the permafrost, but... ;-)
I'm paranoid about telling people in the US. We're VERY close to losing our country, and I believe the medical establishment is in on it - like they were with the Soviet Union and East Germany.
I've read too many stories of people losing their personal weapons (legally owned) because a doctor had to inform on them.
So, if the objective is to "get people the help they need" - why is it serving as a disarmament method?
Well, why did it in USSR and East Germany...?
In Boston, I believe I could go to Fenway Health and do it all out-of-pocket with no insurance, no ID. I'm not about to try, but I think they'll allow semi-anonymous appointments. (You have to go there, it's in person, but you don't need to give your government-issued ID and an insurance card.)
There are also counselors who work online. Might be worth looking them up, too.
What you describe sounds like the beginnings of a depressive episode. Find ways to get your mind off it. FORCE yourself to get up and get going. And maybe look into self-medicating in minor ways. E.G., pasta and chocolate will add serotonin in your brain, so you'll feel better. Then, you need to exercise to get the excess calories burned... Endorphins! Yay! ;-)
Make that sort of feedback loop, and cut back on the calories when/as you no longer need the serotonin fix.
For an occasional thing, a glass of wine might work, too. (Use red wine. ;-) ) But don't get used to using that as a crutch, of course. IF you're going to have a "bad habit," make it a healthy bad habit, like exercising hard. That's easy to moderate - if sore, take a day off.... ;-)
