Thanks Hoping. I don't know if it'd be a good thing. On one hand, keeping everything hidden from them and a secret really weighs heavy on me and further stresses me out (especially now that we all pretty much live together and I'm around them all of the time, makes hiding this whole other life about me nearly impossible, and they just recently found out about the hallucinations because it slipped one night when I was drinking), so them knowing might help relieve that stress. On the other hand, I already feel vulnerable enough now that they know about the hallucinations and have actually seen one of my flashbacks. I really do consider myself a pretty private person so them knowing what they know makes me feel exposed. I'm not sure if I can handle anymore big reveals from my psyche to them. Or maybe I've just been hiding my issues for so long that I can't hardly break the habit. I mean, they didn't even know I had anxiety a year ago, it sucked but I hid it that good. I still hide it well, they just know I have it, doesn't mean they get to see it. I can't get it out of my head that showing people these things is like showing them an old injury they could use against me later in a fight or something. I don't know if that makes sense but, yeah....
