I hope this is the correct forum...

Some of my old schoolmates recently set up a project to raise awareness on mental health issues to help our juniors still in high school. They were asking around for people to step out and speak up so I contacted them to see if it's anonymous (it isn't). The person I asked then questioned whether I truly believed in their cause to remove the stigma attached to MH problems by putting a face to real-life tales. I completely agree and support this so why am I so unwilling to share? I joined the team because I truly want to help but somehow I am holding back from sharing my experience because it's just so acutely uncomfortable.

Not sure how to explain it to her that I back the project fully but am simply dying inside at the thought of telling the entire school (pop. approx 2200) the demons I've hidden for so long. Why do I even feel this way?
