What’s a secret you have never told your parents? Mine is that one year at Christmas time, I peeked at the Christmas gifts.

#1

That I attempted suicide when I was 10 y. o. (I'm an adult now), because I couldn't stand their violence, screaming and humiliation anymore. If they had found out, I would have probably got beaten and severely punished. If they find out now, they'd probably mock it. They never understood the pain and damage their abusive behavior caused me. (I moved away and went low contact with them. I'm in therapy for almost 3 years and doing much better now.)

That's really awful I'm so sorry you had to go through that, no one should have to experience that especially not a child. I'm glad you're doing better and I hope life has good things in store for you!!

    "I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT" No but fr I have kissed my best friend and this was def my bi awakening. We were playing spin the bottle and we both ended up making out in the closet, it meant nothing romantically to her but it did for me. Only person I've told is my sister and you guys now. It was fun tho

    Truly not trying to diminish your pain but this sounds similar to most of my teen years. Please try to be strong as I promise it gets not nesesarily artsier, but you figure out how to carry it.

    No, you’re not, panic attacks aren’t something you can control. Believe me, I’ve tried

    This scares your friends because they don't know what to do to help. You need some professional guidance on how to get a grip/control of these emotional outbursts/panic attacks. There is help out there, I promise. You just need to find the right therapist.
