It can be hard to go to a doctor and ask for help. I know because I've been putting off phoning my doctor for two weeks. However it sounds like this is something you really need right now with your friend gone.

Can you compartmentalize the process? Rehearse what needs to be said, break it down into small steps, start doing the steps and tell yourself along the way that you can back out any time. For myself, I'm going to wake up tomorrow, eat breakfast, pick up the phone, dial my doctor's number, tell the receptionist I need an appointment, say which days I can make the appointment, and hopefully I will get a slot this week. Maybe a similar process can help you?

Also, maybe pretending to be someone else can help? Like, when I don't agree with someone but don't want to come off as an asshole either, I pretend I'm secretly Captain America and smile prettily at the person instead of going off in a rant. Because Captain America is not the ranting type. My version of Captain America is not, anyway.
