-- Posted by ohbaker17 at 11:03 pm on July 2, 2008 Should I confide in my best guy friend? I think I can trust him with my secrets. I want to tell him about how I was abused when I was little and how my stepdad molested me and how I have an eating disorder and how i attempted suicide and was put in a mental hospiatl.   I guess i'm fine taking the safe route and just talking about it on livewire, but I'm not sure how he'd react. i havent told ANYONE aside from my counselor about this stuff, so i'm kinda scared. i dont know if its worth it. like i'm not sure if there would be a point to telling him. if yes...do i have to do it in person? or can it be on aim or text? -- Posted by mrsgabbysmall at 11:05 pm on July 2, 2008 i'd do it in person. i've done the same... i've only told two people though and i've never resorted to counseling. -- Posted by SheMintsEclectic at 11:10 pm on July 2, 2008 If you do decide to confide in your friend which I believe is the best thing to do I recommend that you do it in person. It's definitely easier that way, and you'll find yourself being more brutally honest about the things currently going on in your life.
