i have had several nervous break downs and have tried to commit suicide by overdose several times. i have been "homeless" for three years, have been in jail 5 times and have been diagnosed with everything in the book. my family disowned me. my spine is twisted, my whole body aches, i have visible veins running beneath my eyes, and sometimes i have panic attacks. i just turned 21 in october. should i hesitate before sharing this information with people i meet, or should i just lay myself out on the table and see what happens?

Well you don't need to be ashamed what has happened has happened and you can't change anything. Just try to forget what has happened and go for a brand new start. I know it's not easy but it can be done. Lool for a new start and don't feel pity on it.

Well i would be ware of how i am laying all of this on, cause you will find that there are people out there, that it will not bother at all, and then there are people that you really need to wait and get to know before you lay that on them. No you should not be ashamed of you past , but at the same time you don't need to share it all the time with people that you have just meant, that is what therapist are for, and you can get a therapist, without having to pay for one, so i don't want to hear a word on that. So people will ask you why you are the way you are, so they are intersted, you really don't need to tell everyone you meant your life story, sometimes that is not the best thing, cause then it gets around and people start to stay away from you, cause they just do not want to have to deal with it, or hear it, and you know that there are people like that out there, a lot of them. A lot of people today are only intersted in themselves, we need more people that are willing to help their fellow man. so just be ware who you are telling your whole life story to, before you do it, casue some of them could really cause you a lot of problems, and heaven knows you really do not need anymore of those then you already have.

I think you'd scare off anyone upon first meeting them, unless they know someone with similiar problems. I'd suggest you get a job and start a career, go to school and start a new life for yourself. Be positive. Although you've been diagnosed w/ everything in the book, if you have to take medication for it, take it. But if you get a job you like, you'll enjoy life. When you enjoy life, you'll hopefully quit trying to end it. Let God decide when it's your time. Until then, live life and make the best of things as much as you can.

A belated Happy 21st.
Why should you be ashamed : All the things you describe are part of the human condition.
You've heard of the phrase " There but for fortune go you or I ." Most people understand that they also, because of a simple twist of fate, may one day, as you have, experience extreme misery in their lives.
So, don't be afraid to, as you say, lay yourself out on the table. Amongst all the hurt and suffering we experience in our lives, there are always good surprises awaiting us, so keep on pushing on.

I say leave it first, get to know people build a strong relationship with them then both of you can share problems with each other and work them out together. Telling people things like this tends to put them off when first meeting you, some people it doesn't but for the majority of people it does, anyway it is best to share your problems with good friends whom you can trust not the everyday joe.

When meeting new people, I wouldn't open with that, but over time, with casual conversation ease people into it. Some people aren't very cool (aka stuck up) when it comes to certain subjects.
I know, I can relate to the nervous breakdowns, panic attacks, suicide attempts and some other things that you didn't mention that I was embarrassed by...I was scared to tell people too. But I learned, after you tell people, and you see their reaction, you will see who the true caring people are, and those are the people you want to stick around, because they know its not where you've been, its where you are.
Good luck :)

One should never be afraid of saying how they feel or sharing their emotions
My heart to you, good luck

Share it with a good therapist, not the public.
