Ever had a dark secret that you never told anyone that sometimes you forget you even have a deep dark secret to begin with?

Yes, I have. And sometimes it's hard to believe that I was ever able to do it. I would be petrified if people found out.

Hi TigerLight, sometimes it can be good to "forget" but it sounds like it might be bothering you when you don't "forget"??? So just to say.........if you want to talk about it whenever, we're here for you
You might know by now, but we are really non-judgemental and there are plenty of understanding/supportive people on here..........so if you want to talk..............

Thanks Frank for your reply. Im glad to know its non judgement here. Nothing I really care to disclose just curious to know if any one else had a dark secret.

Yep, my depression and anxiety fit the bill.

I'll never forget and I doubt I'll ever tell anyone I know. Those secrets have too big of a impact on me.

I would say I felt this way maybe about some insecurities I used to harbor and never speak about with anyone.

I had deep dark secrets, but I shared them so I guess they aren't deep dark secrets anymore.

I had a very dark secret from my childhood that I was finally able to tell my therapist. I felt like a horrible person because of something "really bad" that I did. She was able to normalize it for me and it was extremely freeing!

Yes I have got one, something terrible that happened. Fortunately it is a long time ago now and less thought about. Horrible things happen.

Yes, sexual abuse that started when I was 11 to 18. Went to school all those years and had a night life totally on another planet...never told an adult, classmate, or anyone.
