Am I crazy because I want to talk to someone so bad about it that I'm tempted to email people I don't really know because they seem nice online? And then when I get the chance to actually talk about it with someone who I know cares, its like I physically can't get it out.... even though at that exact same time I feel desperate to say something... I try, but it just won't come out.
What's wrong with me?

If this concerns childhood sexual trauma, your reactions are not unusual. Call a woman's clinic and ask if there is a support group for women who were sexually abused as children. Sitting around with others who have the same issues to deal with gives you an outlet for your feelings and some ideas about how others have dealt with it.
If what traumatized you was not in your childhood, you may still be able to find a support group of others who are dealing with similar issues.
You'll be okay, but it's a hard thing to learn how to deal with. I care and there are many others who do also. One day, you'll be the one helping someone else to deal with it.

Nothing wrong with you.
If somebody really cares, they should be understanding as well. Give it a shot if you have something you need to get out.
Try not to make the mistake of waiting until it is too late (but you might need to make this one a few times before you figure it out).
Be careful about the person with whom you talk; there are people in the world who will sell you down the river without thinking twice. A professional is a safer way to go.

You're certainly not crazy. You need to take time and consider the situation. If all else fails, go see a therapist they're realy good at understanding and portraying what you want to say without you feeling awkward or embarassed. Good Luck.

I can see where you'd want to talk to someone on line they don't know you so you really don't have to look at them as you tell them like hiding (ashamed) but don't be ashamed I don't know what happened or whats going on I'm just assuming here that something happen to you.
A women's shelter can give you some help on where you can get some help.
Talking does make us feel better cleans our spirit from what has hurt us just as crying does
If it makes you feel better to talk to some one on-line do it. then maybe it will be easier to go to group and talk with others or just a therapist

It sounds like you are having a hard time even talking about this stuff.
It is normal to feel like you can not trust anyone after what you have been through...but please do find someone to talk to otherwise
you will only have problems later on in life.
perhaps ou should see your regular doctor, or the nurse if you feel more comfortable with that.
Please let me know how you get on, as i worry.
Good luck and remember it is not your fault and you are NOT crazy

Sometimes it's better not to talk about it, but for you, i have no idea. Maybe you should take time to write down exactly what you want to say before hand then cut and paste it before you can change your mind. You are not alone although I know it feels that way.

It is much more difficult to talk to someone who is not a stranger-perhaps a friend who is not objective, of course, and who may not know how to respond. Seek a therapist or go to a rape crisis center where they have wonderful support groups.

Its all nerves. You like everyone else in this world are afraid of rejection and no-one likes that and risking it is very painful.
Take a chance you might be pleasantly surprised and if not hey put it down to experience

Crazy no... but if you don't tell someone they can't help. If it is upsetting you that much then surely it would be better for you to get some advice or just an ear?

I don't understand what this has to do with sexual trauma but it sounds like you seek approval and attention from anyone who will give it to you.
