I find it very easy to talk about my problems, Lisa, whether people want to listen is another thing...lol Have you tried writing down all the things that upset you in a notebook every day? It is a really good way of getting rid of 'stuff' that bothers you:-) BC XX

Hi, I'm with Stel on this one...very good at other people's problems but hopeless with my own. When I was going through cancer treatments years ago, and looking for all the answers.....I found it therapeutic to write it all down and get it out of my system. Then I found, quite to my amazement that this led to other forms of writing like poetry and children's stories etc, etc. I never knew I had so much in me.....but it took something so earth shattering to bring it out.

depends on what it is, but have been known to bottle things up, sometimes it isn't easy confiding in people.
