One of my fears is to be too much on people.

I was always secretive as a child, teenager and young adult.
I always feared talking because I was either scared of judgement, comparison, or straight out disregarding my pain.
So even though I put this brave, cheerful façade I had always felt like life is too much, that I'd be better off not existing. I even asked mom when I was 09 or so why don't I go back to her belly?
And of course, internally, things got worse as I grew up.
I never realized that those thoughts were not okay until the couple past years. Perhaps they were the early signs of my Bipolar 2? I kind of regret not seeking help when I noticed things were starting to be wrong. I just carried the weight and moved on.

Now as an adult, I've been diagnosed with these mental illnesses and been prescribed antidepressants (which I am still trying to accept), and still when I talk I feel so reluctant.

A couple people here encourage me to open up, and I did... but it feels like it's wrong. Like I'm being too much. Like people are not supposed to hold this much of my pain on their shoulders.

I have an appointment with a new therapist in a week. I don't even know what I'm supposed to say.

The thing about this place is that people have to opt in to read your messages. If it is too much for them then they can just easily not read. In person it can be harder if you aren't good at social queues. With the therapist I would just be honest and start with the fact that you don't know what to say. They probably get that a lot and can probably help in finding a place to start.

Oh gosh, I really hope you start to feel better. It’s totally fine to vent here, people can choose to engage or not so you’re never being too much.

when you want to open up on here,write it on paper first,and read your answer to whats asked,if it dont feel right dont reply, put that paper to the left,always write it down,if it feels right answer,every week see how your doing,more lefts mean your not opening up,more rights means you are trying and improving
