Why'd I ever do that????

Not only are these issues difficult and painful (insert a thousand other adjectives here) to admit to ourselves but explaining and sharing with others is terrifying.

It's a natural reaction to second guess ourselves when we share something so closely guarded for so long.

The "don't tell--why did I do that" are echos from the past.

It's OK to tell now.

I think it is amazing that you were brave enought to share with your friends.

They will now be a stronger support system for you.

If they look at you any differently, I suspect it will be with a new appreciation and respect.
