They'll be able to see the pain you're going through and hopefully realize all is not what it seems with you...that you aren't ready to face the world and you need their understanding and support if they can.

Yeah you are right. I seem to want everyone to understand and take those kinds of comments very personal when I shouldn't. Its the risk I take by not caring who knows. I am very lucky to have a family, especially my parent, who do understand and are very supportive. My mom worked in mental health her whole life and my dad has worked real hard to understand.
