There are so many times in life that you might feel like you're about to lose your mind. It can be that something is bothering you in a friendship or relationship or at your job or at school. When things are bothering you, it's very normal to internalize it and try to keep it to yourself. It's normal to not want to stir up problems or let other people view you as emotional or upset, but sometimes you just have to get whatever is bothering you out of your system. And in the long run, it'll definitely help.
When there are issues in a friendship or relationship, it's very easy to sweep things under the rug. It's sometimes easier to actually ignore the problem and try to just move past it. It's very common that you value your relationship or friendship more than you care about bringing up the thing or things that are bothering you. But in the long run, it will be so much better to talk about those things. By talking about them, you're expressing how you're feeling in a way that shows that you value to friendship or relationship enough to talk things out. The relationships or friendships that never discuss those things sometimes end in a blowout fight because of all of those bottled up emotions and feelings.
It can be extremely uncomfortable to talk about any issues you have or what you're feeling, but when you do talk with the other person, make sure they know it's out of a place of caring because you want to try to fix things. It's not out of a place of blame or out of a place of anger. A lot of times you can tell who values you and your relationship or friendship because they'll listen to how you're feeling and what you have to say, and those that don't really care will just write you off. It's sad that that's how things can end, so make sure to express that you're doing this because you love the other person but you need to get something off your chest or talk about something that's bothering you.
Sometimes, it's not about a relationship or friendship, but more just that your feelings are bottled up. You can be annoyed with things at work or you can be anxious about the number of things you have to do. Make sure you have someone you trust that you can talk to about these things - even if it's just to vent. Sometimes you don't want anyone to actually try to fix your problem, but all you need is for someone to just simply listen to you so you can get out what you're feeling. A lot of times, it's just keeping it all inside that makes it worse - and getting it all out is the perfect solution for that.
It's not always good to just act like everything is fine and to just sweep your feelings or things that are bothering you under the rug. Make sure to let it all out - scream about it, cry about it, talk about it - whatever you need to do to get it out of your system and to feel better about things. It'll help so much in the long run.
