Literally, just list the issues you think you have. with me it'd be depression, general anxiety, and possible forms of ADD which is badly affecting my school work.
Then, test the water. Try something small. Like, I mentioned I had a spirit guide. the reaction was very.... *nods, smiles* "Mmmmhmmm *writes* so tell me about your guide then *sweet smile*" so I didn't tell them anything else. But, if the reaction had been positive, I would then have said "I'm a therian and a multiple, that may or may not help you in thinking how to 'treat' me".
It's the angle I'd take. Basically make it clear that THIS is your problem, and THAT is just helpfull info. Once you have all the stuff down they /should/ start asking questions.
Having said that, I saw a psychiatrist and had the same problem. Sooooo many hours spent sat in silence, because she didn't ask questions, and I'm not a big talker, especially to people I don't trust.
