I need someone to talk to but I don't truly trust anyone.

I had a traumatic event happen to me a good while back and I've been thinking about it recently a lot. It's affecting me more now than it did then and I have no one to talk to about this. Family is not an option. I'm stuck in a rut and really really need to talk out my problems with somebody.

To ask help of a mental health professional does not mean that you have mental health problems, only that you need to talk and work out some personal concerns. Once you find someone to talk with, be completely honest and don't be afraid that you will be judged. These people, including pastors, should not be judgemental. They are there to help. If you find someone with whom you are not comfortable, then find another but don't give up. VOE

There are people who are educated and trained to be professional listeners. Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, pastors, school counselors are a few. You don't give your age so it is hard to recommend the appropriate one but I am guessing that you are fairly young, perhaps still in school. If so, it makes it harder because you have a natural tendancy to not trust adults. Here is an idea. Call your local mental health association. Tell them your age and that you are needing to unload some personal concerns on someone and let them make a recommendation. Don't rule out a pastor, even if you are not religious. Check with a local pastors association or ask a friend. Pick a young pastor, one who can relate. CONTINUED IN NEXT COMMENT. VOE
