How to talk to a psychiatrist?

I have my first session next wk and I am extremely nervous. The reasons why I am seeing her are because:

I can't focus in class. My minds drifts even when I am trying my hardest to concentrate
I have to work 10X as hard as everybody else and I am still not as smart as them. Nothing I study will stick.
I am paranoid
I can't sleep
I have been having the worse headaches that go all the way down to my neck
I am never happy
Every little thing upsets and annoy me. It is like I can't control my emotions
I feel alone even though I am not. I have family that love and care about me but knowing that does nothing for me
I am anxious all the time

These are just some of my problems. I know some will tell me to just go in and say all of this. But, it is not that easy for me. Another one of my problems is my fear of speaking up. Every time I meet somebody, my hearts starts beating so fast and I can't control it. I am so afraid that she will ask me, 'So, what brings you hear today?' and then I just freeze up. I don't won't her to think I am crazy. I just want help.
