Could I be damaging my mental health?

I've heard that bottling your feelings up is bad... True?

I'm a 17 yr old girl and I'm crazy in love with my best friend of the same sex.
I'm not attracted to other girls, just the one.

I haven't told anybody about my feelings for my best friend because I'm way too afraid of her finding out and scaring her away. I'd rather have her as a friend forever than something more for a shorter while..
So I get really upset over this on a regular basis, but I don't have anybody to talk to about it.
When I'm not with her, I miss her. She's going away for 2 weeks tomorrow and I'm dreading having to hide how bad I miss her from the rest of my friends.

Is it bad for me to keep something that bothers me and gets me down so much to myself?...

Thanks x
