The shrink will prescribe meds. They are the the best ones to talk to or work with to help your talk and work through your problems. You want a Psychologist along with a Psychiatrist. Finding out exactly what the trigger is and then working to "normalizing" it is big. Self esteem is another big factor. It allows you to be more open and in turn allows more opportunities for people to open up to you. You already did the first and one of the most important steps, admitting you have the problem and seeking out a way to rid of it. Kudos to you. I deal with people with problems and emotional distress all the time at work (I'm a ICU RN. We the the ones that are dieing and are not ready. We get the ones that are hopped out of there mind on drugs and don't or can't make sense of the world. We get the servery depressed that try to commit suicide often enough that the are "request fliers" and many more).
Having a good sense of self like other suggested is a very good start. It might be something something as simple as the thought, "Eat healthy and be healthy" or changing your dress style, to the more extreme of such and a serious diet and hardcore workout with a personal trainer.
