What's a deep, dark secret you've never told anyone?

1. When I first learned what masturbating was I had the ipod touch first gen. I looked up stuff like "boobs" and "butts" but I got so paranoid that my mom would find out I did it so I threw away the ipod. I wish I was smart enough to clear my search history back then

2. My wife has a ceramic mug that she uses all day everyday to drink water. As long as I've known her she's used the same mug. 5 years ago shortly after we moved in together, I found the same mug on eBay. That replacement mug sits in a bonx at my office, just in case the day comes that I accidentally break the original.

3. I accidentally stole a lawn mower from a retail hardware store. I went through checkout with a boxed mower and a boxed weed eater on a cart, with the weed eater on top. They were from the same company and had matching boxes. Checker scanned and charged me for the thing on top only. I didn't notice till I was in the car going over the receipt.

5. I planned to commit suicide last summer on my birthday. I didn't because I got pulled over and the RCMP officer was kind to me on my way to the mountains. Then I met two older couples on the hike I was going to do it on and they invited me to hike with them, then took me out to dinner and bought me my meal and a drink because they said no one should be alone on their birthday. They unknowingly stopped me with their kindness. Edit: Obligatory thank you for the gold. But also for all of the responses. I'm happy to still be here, not saying this year hasn't been one of the hardest years of my life, but just being around complete strangers on my birthday who genuinely cared about making my birthday a memorable one was enough to pull me back from the edge. Thank you so much for all of the comments. I mean it, I'm happy this was my first gold.

8. I’ve lost weight in the past year and have been exercising and packing healthy lunches for work. My friends and coworkers comment about my weight loss and fitness level. But I dread my days off because then I’m home alone and I binge eat massive quantities of food and throw it all up. Multiple times throughout the day until my husband comes home. I’m an RN and I am painfully aware of how I am damaging my self. Edit: holy shit, I did not expect this much support. I’m overwhelmed! I was sitting on the swing in my back yard with my husband and 3yo son when I switched accounts to share this. It physically hurt just to type it out and read the words. It’s heartbreaking to see how many others are suffering and hiding their own ED. I know I need help but I’ve always been the “strong” one in our family and I feel ashamed to admit that I am such a god damn mess. Thank you all for taking the time to reach out, its oddly comforting coming from total internet strangers ❤️

10. That I'm paranoid and that people are going go take me away. I'm too scared to tell anyone, because then they'll take me away somewhere. I regularly think about leaving without telling anyone and hiding somewhere. Edit: really wasn't expecting replies, I just kinda needed to put this in words because I couldn't tell anyone I person. But for everyone who's reading this, I'm a diagnosed schizophrenic. Every time I try to talk about what's going On, someone in my head tells me they'll take me away or outcast me if I tell anyone. I've had it since childhood, but I kept it a secret until I finally told my doctor a few months ago. Even then, I lie my ass off when I see them because I'm too scared of the outcome of telling them the truth. But I read the comments you guys left me and am going too speak with somebody on Wednesday, and this time I'm bringing my best friend who's been keeping notes of what I tell him so they can get the full story. Thanks for the support you guys, made my day.
