I have to have ECT and I have no one to drive me there because I can't tell anyone, not even may parents. I have debated announcing it to the world also.

would it help though?

so what, they would know. You would not become magically happy and normal. Most people cannot relate and even if they can, they cannot help you through this. This is a struggle one has to do on their own.

and sometimes faking it can be... beneficial even. You cannot express your feelings at public anyways... it would be a mess if people did. It is enough to have one or two people to confess to, I believe.

(and yes, today I wondered how many of my classmates want to kill themselves at times... but would it really help to know? So I would know that the pretty and well kept blondie in expensive shoes suffers too... but... so what? It would not relieve me in my struggle in any way).
