on an SSRI helped me immensely. I was lucky they were available back when i needed them at 26. They really work. I would go to therapy because it is hard to keep bad stuff in. I am the queen of sharing because I refuse to sit on anything that is going to eat away at me. I share with appropriate people. Like they say " when you are going through hell, KEEP GOING!"

Take care of you.
