I'm glad that you are getting help. There is no need for others to know. There is plenty of time for that if and/or when you want to share it with others. There is nothing to be ashamed of but sometimes others don't understand. I only share with my immediate family and one friend.

When starting therapy it takes a while to build up trust in the relationship before you begin to feel comfortable.

I'm glad you chose to come to PsychCentral and share. It is a very supportive and caring community. Feel free to post as much as you would like and ask questions when you feel the need.
