Having a Good Chat and a Cry

It can be such a relief to have a good chat with a close friend or family member. You may not even realize how stressed you've been feeling until you've been able to talk things over and you realize afterwards how relieved you feel to have got things off your chest.Talking things through with someone can help you feel less alone.There is an old saying that "a trouble shared is a trouble halved" and it's certainly true.
Also crying releases tension. So don't be too stoical. Have a good cry now and again. Go somewhere private, sob your heart out and make all the noise you need to. You'll feel much better for it though your face might look a bit blotchy for a while .
