I don't talk about it with anyone because I'm not sure what the point of it would be, like what are they supposed to do about it. Probably based on my childhood and adolescent experiences, I just expect anyone to have a negative and then dismissing reaction - OR to suddenly take on a very intense, melodramatic demeanor (that solves nothing) which severely agitates me. Talking about it basically comes with this big, heavy, uncomfortable feeling, like a "so what now" feeling, and I don't expect anyone to be able to do anything helpful, only invalidate me or stress me out even more. It's also touchy grounds for a potential big, stupid argument, because I have a very tough time dealing with medication, and the likely first, immediate response (if there is one) will be to take a judegmental, intense criticism towards me about how it's my fault. In the end it would just be a boatload of stress that might push me over the top, not even worth it.
