i'm afraid

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

Is anyone else afraid to tell. i try so hard not to let anyone see that anything is wrong. i feel like if they see, they will be angry, or freaked out by me, or think i'm being stupid, or lock me up and throw away the key, or roll their eyes and say that i don't deserve to be sad and upset. i just feel alone and constantly afraid of everyone and everything. i just want to go up to a total stranger and say "I hurt myself, several times every day. i want to tell a stranger because they can't give me suspicious and worried looks every time i leave a room.

I was afraid at first also, I went through the same thing you are.. and I somtimes still am scared. Alot of people dont understand it. But try thinking about the person you trust the most in your life. If you're thinking about coming out about it, tell them first. You're definitly not alone. Try getting used to not hiding them around this person, you wont feel as trapped this way. If youd like to talk about it just send me an email :)
