I NEED ADVICE QUICKLYI'M TEARING MY HAIR OUT HERE. I NEED TO KNOW IF MY FEELINGS ARE JUSTIFIED OR WHETHER THROUGH LACK OF SLEEP AND DEEP DEPRESSION AT THE MOMENT IAMJUST NOT THINKING RATIONALLY.

I HAVE ONLY TOLD MY LIFE STORY TO TWO PEOPLE FROM BEGINING TO END, I MEAN THE BAD PARTS, WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS A CHILD. THE SECOND TIME I WROTE IT DOWN AND I WENT THROUGH SUCH RAW FEELINGS DOING IT.IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE TO SEND IT TO A FRIEND.THE FRIEND HAS ALSO BEEN THROUGH HELL AND BACK. THE FRIEND LIVES IN THE SOUTH OF ENGLAND IDON'T SEE HER VERY MUCH. SHE READ IT AND REPLIED TO ME SAYING I'M SORRY BUT IT'S JUST ANOTHER STORY THAT COULD MAKE UP A LIBRARY. IT CUT DEEP. I KNOW IT'S JUST ANOTHER STORY AND I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH A LOT WORSE THAN ME, BUT IT'S MY STORY AND I'M TRYINGTO DEAL WITH IT AFTER 35 YEARS OF TORMENT. I FEEL I'M NOW MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLE HILL. CHILDHOOD ABUSE IS NEVER JUST ANOTHER STORY IF YOU'RE SUFFERING. THIS FRIEND IS VERY DEAR TO ME AND THE MOST CARING PERSON I EVER MET. SHE MEANS NO HARM I KNOW THAT. I'M SURE MY FRIEND WOULD BE MORTIFIED IF SHE NEW SHE'D HURT ME, AM I OVER REACTING? I'VENOT HAD MUCH SLEEP IN A WEEK. MY MINDS FUDDLED I THINK.PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR HONEST OPINION, INEED TO KNOW IF IT'S ME BEING SILLY.
