if you've felt sad for a long time, that sadness that gnaws at you, and sometimes throws self-loathing in there, don't think for a single second, that not talking about will help anything. because it won't. if you face it alone, it's like fighting a whole army with nothing but a toothpick. and that's not very useful, isn't it? so think-- should you deal with this alone? or tell someone? talking doesn't make you weak, it's not talking that does. so if you open up about your feelings you'll feel a weight pull off your chest. sure, the misery will still be there, but at least someone knows. at least someone will help you. at least you will face an army with allies.
