I want someone to talk to, but I'm afraid of how they'd react. Afraid they'd be annoyed or call me selfish and self-centered, or worse, not know what to say in general, making me feel like it was all just a waste of their time. So I push it away, listen to music and just try to forget about how I feel, hoping the things I want to say and express will go away.

I feel the same way, although I only have two people I feel would listen. I don't want to be that friend that is always such a downer, and one of those two people is going through her own rough time right now. I'm sure the professionals would say that we shouldn't let the "what if's" get in our way of seek the help we need, so that's what I'll say to you.
