Psychological counseling will help you in finding a way out.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Let me reassure you that finding a way out is not difficult but an assistance would make things easier. You need to see a psychologist. He would be able to for cognitive behavioral therapy and would offer you some simple tips which will help you cope better with the situation. He may also undertake psychotherapy which would ease you. There is nothing to grow apprehensive and you would be amazed by the difference such an intervention can make.

Let me know if I could help further.
