I'm not sure where to put this so if its in the wrong place sorry ahead of time What would you do if you wanted to talk to somebody about something that is really personal but you don't know who you can trust ????
Trust no one. Tell your secrets to nobody and no one will ever betray you. - Bigvai Volcy fyi.. People are best at making sure you don't know they heard it about you from who you trusted.
Hello, I don't know about your area, but here in Germany most cities provide a telephone service allowing you to talk anonymously about your problems. The english term for this service might be crisis hotline or something like that. Regards Gyro
if i didnt KNOW who could be trusted then i wouldnt fucking say any thing to any body.....dont be so sappy...telling the wrong person personal shit can RUIN YOUR LIFE...you can always give more info but once its out there you cant take it back.....just STFU till you know for your self
Then you dont say a word! Period! This is another thing in life i have learned, people cant shut their mouths and love to gossip. For example: Somebody you tell will have somebody they feel they can tell your story to, then that person does the same thing and the confabulation starts flowing. Feel free to PM me if you dont want to post on the forum and i will glady give you my priceless advice I do agree with daisymae, you could get alot of answers here and thats pretty cool, IF you feel comfortable.
Some people do keep secrets. If it's personal and won't get you prosecuted if others find out, then take the risk and tell a good friend. Or tell someone online and probably get better feedback from a wider perspective. Lifes greatest and worst experiences are risks. Corny man I know, but think about the best moments of your life.... "First times" rule lol
Sometimes fun to tell a fictitious story to a friend and then hear it all over the neighborhood from everyone. .
One thing to do would be to talk to a clinical social worker or other psychotherapist. You could also try talking to a priest or pastoral councilor if you were so inclined. Trust is something that usually takes time to develop, and you will have different levels of trust and comfort with different people, and social workers/councilors are no exception. The hotline links in this thread might be helpful http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=408548&f=383 You have some degree of anonimity here, so in principal you could lay it out on one of the forums. You say it's very personal though, so you may not feel comfortable doing that. You could look at the posts of folks on different forums (all in the family, mental health, relationships, love and sex, etc) and find a poster who you would like to pm, and then pm them. Hope it all works out.
I'm not exactly sure what your issue is but heres a couple sites I go to http://www.suicideforum.com/index.php http://www.takethislife.com/
i generally deal with my own problems instead of burdening my friends. of course, there's always the internet. create an alias first though.
