I have this issue that I absolutely hate......almost everything that I do, say I have to tell one of my close friends. While I'd like to say I trust my close my friends, I tend not to after I've released all my current news on our catch up. After, I find myself analysing what I've told my friend, regretting what I've said, stressed almost severely with worry on who of their friends/family will they pass on my personal info to....it's sending me crazy. This has been going on and on and seems to be getting worse. Is it trusting issues? Severe paranoia?? Thinking I'm the topic of conversation to many is sending me nuts, is it because it because I've been going through so much change such as countries, jobs, relationship that has caused me to think this way. I don't know...
I just wish I could refrain from telling my friends everything that's going on in my life.
Maybe I feel no one opens up as much as I open up to them???
Please let me know if this is posted in the wrong thread as I would love to hear a few different opinions, if any.... thank you.
Thanks for this!

Okay... I really really think that not talking about your problems is a bad idea. Trust me, I've been that exact way for about three years and didn't say anything to anyone until it got really bad. Do you see a therapist?
I hope you still check this old post..

Well I have that very same issue as well. Sometimes for me, I just feel like I HAVE to tell something. And it slips out. Mostly secrets about my mental health problems and random things I write and whatnot. The only way I have thought to stop it is to take extra time and think to myself:
"Do I really need to say this to that person?"
It's hard though. I hope that helps somehow.

I have that problem when I go manic... I hate it. Don't have any advice, sadly.

i think your questions are well founded. a therapist is trained to help you sort this out as well as dx you if that's the case. keep us posted. we care.
