I have had a f*cking terrible day and I need to get a few things of my chest.

I don't know who's aware of it and who isn't but I've been through some f*cking horrible sh*t. The type that has left me on anti-depressants and having regular meetings with a councillor. About a week ago something came up during a counciling session that I'll admit I need to face up to, I just don't want to. It's very big, very scary to me and is something I don't feel comfortable discussing, either with the councillor or online as I don't like the idea of some faceless strangers picking over my scabs. Anyway, since it came up I haven't been able to sleep, I keep 'forgetting' to eat and I keep having panic attacks. I thought I'd beaten this particular little problem but obviously I was wrong.

I've thought about bringing it up with my best friends at college but I'm not happy dumping my crap on them, especially since I know for a fact that they have their own crap to deal with.

How the f*ck do I get past this whole not being able to talk to anyone thing? I couldn't even admit to my best friend about liking a guy until after she got me drunk and told me that his brother fancied me and asked if I was interested. If it takes that much to get me to admit to something normal to someone I trust how am I meant to talk about the worst moments of my life. I can't f*cking do it and just writing about all this has got me in tears

There are anonymous councilling services on the internet which might be easier to talk to, and there are phone numbers too.
I'm not sure if you included that in your dislike of faceless strangers or if you only meant online people like us.

I'm certain that your friends will take time out for you to listen and won't hold it against you that you have something you need to talk about to feel better.

In the meantime you could take a moment to let a friend know that you're going through a rough patch and need some support.

You'll already know everyone on VR will look after one of their own, and I'm pretty much glued to the computer myself, so if a faceless stranger suddenly becomes a good idea, one of us will listen.

I just want to say, no matter what you need to talk about, I'll always listen, be it on here or face-to-face

Hmm, not sure whether this will help, but when I was doing the whole counselling thing, I always sat at 90 degrees to the counsellor so that I was essentially talking to a wall that happened to talk back. Helped me talk about alot of things that i'd never admit to someones face.

Either way, i share Alex's sentiments. Absolutely anything I can do at all, on the phone/in person etc, then I will.
