Good to hear from you, belleza. I hope you're having a good day rather than a bad day, and that coming here has made you feel less alone.

It's not an easy thing to talk about. I was always very secretive, so I really understand.

I was, eventually, able to tell a doctor that I had a compulsion I couldn't control. Every word you say to them is completely confidential. Same for any therapist.

Do you still feel a long way from being able to tell a doctor?
