should i tell someone?
i think it might help.
it might make things worse.
i refuse to be branded with any illness.
i refuse to step into a psychiatrists office unless it is my own - how can i be a doctor of mental health if i have the stamp of problems myself?
who can i tell?
I'm going to make a list ...

Hard question. I'm thinking about it sometimes too. But who should I choose/ what I expect him or her to do - I don't know. In reality I don't have any idea if I share my secret with anybody.
ReplyDeleteI've always found it easier to tell people I don't know that well about my problems. Five years ago, I told a random girl from school about my disordered eating. We were drunk and I was afraid to tell my best friends and/or my family about it.
ReplyDeleteThe girl must've "observed" me the next couple of months and then she told a teacher, who confronted me, told my mum and then I started treatment.
I was of course very mad at her at the time, but she did the right thing. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have gotten any help.
Have you made a list of people you might tell? I really think you should tell someone.
You can tell someone close, or someone you trust because they WILL understand you without any judgement!
ReplyDeleteI told my best friend about my mia, but now that I stopped purging she thinks I'm alright :p
It actually helped, and if you really want to get better, even slightly, then you can't go wrong by telling someone, so do it! But give it a good thought and choose the right person.
Good luck, I hope everything goes well :( xxx
Everyone has problems - even doctors. I'm sure there are oncologist doctors out there that have cancer themselves, you know?
ReplyDeleteIf you need to talk to someone try starting with a close friend that you can trust. Once you feel comfortable with them, try someone else like a sibling. Work your way up to your parents and they'll get you the help you need in your own time.
Only one person in my world knows and he figured it out for himself, i didnt tell him. He tells me i shouldnt, that im perfect how i am, you know, everything you'd expect someone to say, but he doesnt try to stop me, not really really try. I love him for that. xx
ReplyDeleteI sure as shit wouldn't go to a person with NO problems for help. What the fuck can they teach me? How could they help? The best advice comes from those with experience. Use your shortcomings to help others and they will, in turn, help you. It's a win-win situation! No (wo)man is an island, we must help one another.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you for not wanting to be shoved into a box, how demeaning! If you choose to speak to someone, tell them that! Most of the counselors I know hate 'boxing' people and try to treat each person as an individual. I approve, it's not the fifties anymore!
I yawned when I typed the word 'yawn', but it was some ungodly hour when I typed it! <3. XXX.
