Should I open up?

I am faced with a difficult decision.
I know that if I don't open up and discus just what is wrong with me I will never get better. That is in part, why I masked it with a poetic view the last time..

But I'm afraid. If I say what I am.. what I've become.. what I've done..
then no one will like me anymore.. Not that I was all that liked to begin with.

Also, it hurts to re-live my memories.. and to go threw that, and then to be mocked, or even insulted......((again))

You can see why I would be reluctant to open up.

So I am going to be Blunt to a fault. and please, no pretty lies..

plain and simple; Do you want to depths of my madness?
The the self destructive things I have done,And will most likely do again?.. The pathetic way I try to cope?..

We all need to open up at some point.. on our own terms and when we are ready.

Perhaps you need to seek professional help.

I didn't realize that I was depressed until it was severe. Glad I opened up and sought help.

We cannot help you if you don't open up. Mind you, this community is for people you are dealing with the emotional trauma of a break up or divorce.
I am not sure what you are getting at but there are separate communities for mental illness, self mutilation and substance abuse. Please take no offense I just really don't know much of what you are talking about (the prose escapes me)

You'll find people who are accepting, people who are put off, and people who are mean. DS is no differnt than life, but hopefully people are a little kinder on here since it is about getting better. If you talk about what's going on in your life, people will respond. I would be disappointed if everyone on DS agreed with me. I want people to tell me if I'm too emotional or too controlling or to whatever. Part of healing is getting honest advice and sometimes it hurts. That said, I vote for opening up. You're not crazy, pathetic, or whatever. You are just you.

Allen if this will help you feel free to do this, but remember you may get feedback that you don't like. If you can take the good with the bad go for it. Lynette

If you are going to bare your soul, a better place is your own journal. That way it is a little less public and your friends are the ones who will read it.
Posting here is a risk - but you can get more attention.

Fellen, I agree with the idea of putting it in your journal, with friends only access. You can post a thread asking your friends for feedback when you feel you need to.

When you're feeling down, you don't need to say kick me to some sadistic arsehole.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
