Right. What do they call it? You being weak? You not knowing how to handle life's stress? I've only told two people. My dad, and my bf. Boyfriend thinks it's all in my head WHICH is enough for me to keep my mouth shut and not tell anyone else. My dad believes me...We don't really talk about it though...I tell him how I feel, and he listens and offers support. I can't say the words out loud so how can anyone else?
