I told someone something I've never told *anyone* else before. I've always kept it inside--something very painful from my past -- i've held it in a clenched fist as if it were a security blanket and now I feel all exposed and vulnerable. Did I do the right thing? Is it normal to feel like you've just had an anvil drop on your chest after letting something really important go. I thought i'd feel lighter. Now I just feel panicked.

I don't think we can ever open up too much. Sometimes we might reveal more of ourselves than we intended. Opening up to someone is letting them in,. I don't see how that could ever be a bad thing to do. @Rhazelle (356)

Mmmm well I would suggest you ask yourself if you trust yourself. What I mean by that is, you had a reason to tell that someone what you told them right? Do you trust your intuition that your choice was right. If you do, then you shouldn't worry, you did the right thing.

It is always a relief when you decide to let it out something you have kept for years in your heart. You will feel literally that a thorn is taken out. For me, I always see to it that I will share a secret to someone I can trust. One or two of my best of friends that I trust.

That's really something to be anxious and afraid of. But if you really trust the person whom you exposed yourself to then don't be afraid. Maybe he/she will not be telling others your most hidden secret. I think it's possible to open up to someone, at least the burden you are carrying will be lessen somehow or you may even feel lighter for opening up to that someone. I do have a very open relationship with my bf and i am not afraid if we ever break up that he will expose me. Why? Because i trust him. He can blackmail me if he wants but i know he will never do that. Just talk to that someone and ask his/her word to never expose your secret to anybody and it should only be between both you two.
