Fact. Some people can handle stress, depression and other things life throws at them, but what happens if your that one person that can't? I'll tell you.

I can handle alot of things and I cope with my problems like this, everything thats thrown at me I buring deep inside myself, so no one knows that I'm trying to deal with something and I act like everything is fine. Thats how I handle things, I push them deep inside myself and try to forget about them. Though when I reach the point that I can't buring anymore I explode. I either go into a deep depression or I get mad and snap at the wrong person or I say nothing and do nothing at all and turn on my music and cry myself to sleep.

I could tell my wonder, understanding friends whats going on, but even then thats just talk. How does it help me to say what my problems are? I only end up feeling guilty that I have worried them or hurt them by telling them. And then they try so hard to tell me whats right and what I should do, but the only thing I can think of while their talking to me is..."you have no idea what its like to be me", then I let them know I thankful for their help, but it does me no good. I'm still lost, still don't want to tell them about my problems.

Heh, even if I'm having a breakdown, I still act like I'm okay and I listen to my friends problems and try to help them. I'm not so worried about myself, its them I'm worried about. What happens if I'm having a problem and they need help with their problems and I end up telling them my problem and they see that I'm upset and they know it will only upset me more if they share their problem with me? Then what happens? What happens if they think differently of me cause of one of my problems?

I could never stand loosing a close friend. It would crush me, you have no idea just how bad I would really feel. My close friends are like family to me and so, I keep my mouth shut and say nothing. And when I do say something, they..heh..they would basicly fight the world for me if it hurt me. I just don't think I deserve them, I don't deserve all their love and understanding. I just don't see why they would do so much for me when it seems I do so little for them...
