Why you should never hide your emotions

So I finally managed to think something to post here!

I'm finding that whilst I'm incredibly anxious and having a tough time with negative thoughts. I'm finding that writing about it and talking online really really works. I find that I believe and recommend that staying silent about it is the worst thing you can possibly do.

I tried hide it for ages, but found it just got worse and worse as time goes on. Hiding it is something you should never do, it can't be fixed because no one knows you feel that way!

When I finally starting writing online and talking to people about it, once I got it out there I felt better.

Whilst I'm not completely fixed (yet) , I feel like by writing about it and talking has got me on the right path

With that said, thanks to everyone who is reading, posting and all around just actively using this forum. You are all amazing people. Thanks

dear Liam, it is great that you post on the site, because there are so many people that can relate to how you feel or what you are feeling.

When we first get depressed we do tend to hide it, cover it up, and put on the fake face, but eventually we crack so we need to speak to someone, so it's great that you have. Geoff.

Hi Liam, great post and you are so right , talking about it is absolutely the right way to go keeping emotions bottled up will indeed make them worse, I have also found this site to be very helpful and I am glad it is helping you aswell,
