Shared a secret with a woman I don’t really know yesterday.
She replied honestly with something I didn’t want to hear.
I wonder if I’m replaying her story. If, six years from now, I’ll be where she is. Or if, six years from now, I’ll be looking back at this secret, long dissipated, and shaking my head.
I hope it’s the latter. But if it’s the former, I’ll know she’s the one who helped me through it.

Sometimes it is much easier to share things with people you don’t know well because they don’t have an emotional attachment to you/the other person/the situation. If they have experienced something similar, then it is helpful to hear how they handled the issue, and how they moved on. Glad she could help you out.
I agree with Gala, and I hope your worst fears don’t come true.
So I’m freaking out worrying about you now.
