I opened up about something for the first time. Not with my T, but my best friend.
I'd never even said it out loud... never even wrote about it. Now someone knows. I couldn't admit to who did it. I still feel like I have to protect this person. I have to keep my mouth shut because I love them, and they've changed and they've never indicated that they remember. Still, I feel like I've betrayed this person by saying anything. It's this gnawing at my stomach. I hate it.

So leigheas, you should not feel guilty for sharing something that hurt you. Obviously, it's still something that bothers you and typically when someone shares something like that with a friend, it means they need to be validated that whatever happened was wrong and it's not their fault that it hurt them in some way.
Perhaps now that you have opened up a bit you can finally talk about this with your therapist too. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
