Would you share your stress with your love ones?

As human being we always face problems in our life. When i face a really big problem that i can't handle it by myself and makes me really down, i tend to share it with my beloved ones. But when i feel that i can't hold it myself, i prefer to keep it alone as secret. I don't want to make them worry and sad.

Yes, sure! I used to discuss it with only my friends. Not with my family. Because i do not want to give stress to my family. Because they are more concerned about us. And it is only the friends who helps us in releasing our tension. With friends, we can share anything. But in family, we usually come up with something hidden.

When I'm under a lot of stress, and such, I usually talk to my fiance about it. It certainly helps me a lot to talk to him about things. He's the first person I go for help and advice. That's mainly because he's the easiest and closest person that I can talk to. We're so close that it's easy to talk to him. I have nothing to hide from him.

My son and daughter-in-law worked out a system for dealing with stress at work. They agreed that each of them had 15 minutes to express everything bad that happened at work that day and then the rest of the evening work was not to be talked about. Since it took them 30 minutes to get home from their work places and they rode together, by the time they got home "stress" had been discussed and put aside for the day. It didn't relieve the stress or make things at work any different, but each of them knew what the other one was dealing with so it led to better understanding each other. It seems gracious or noble to not worry loved ones with problems at work, but they may feel that you are shutting them out and that could lead to stress at home too.

yeah,I think so but sometimes I will face it my own just for not let her worry a lot.to my parents I'd rather let them know my good news rather than some stressful news
