Who do you share your feelings with?

[debidoo]

When you are sad or angry who are you able to talk to?  I used to be able to talk to my mother and for 34 years my husband but both of them are gone now.  I just bottle mine inside now I guess you would say or try to pray about them.  Don't really have friends and I try not to put negative posts on here although sometimes you guys are the only folks I have to talk to - anyway thanks for being here !

You mentioned prayer.  When I first read the title of your post, that was the number one thing I thought of for me. 

I have a wonderful husband who I can communicate with.  Even more so, there is the Great God Jehovah who is the "hearer of prayer" ( Psalm 65:2 ) I communicate with Him regularly which gives me the calm I need to endure.   

You can always talk to Him as you would a close, trusted friend.  He is always available ( 24/7 ).

I have to figure things out myself. There isn't anyone I talk to.

It will sometimes take me a while t talk about things. But when i am ready i have 2 or 3 really good friends that will listen. I am very lucky to have them.

I primarily share my deepest feelings with my mother, whom I naturally regarded as my closest and best friend.

I just posted almost the same thing. I used to confide in my mom and best friends. They're gone. My hubby is still here but he's never "with" me. He stays in the garage from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.  Then he wonders why I get sad, mad, or just ignore him. It's been like this since he retired 6 yeas ago. He'll go to a store to buy something and I don't even know he's gone until he comes back IF he comes in the house. He was never like this. I just don't think he likes to be reminded that I'm dependent on him after 50 years of being independent.

Maybe we should start a club.  there's probably a lot of us out there in the same boat.

Never keep things bottled up inside, it tend to grow and then you are too far gone, so please, talk it out, no matter how much you feel like keeping things inside, vent to someone who is not going to judgmental or tell others about the pain you're experiencing. Find a quiet place in your home and talk to God, he knows what you are going thru, write things down in a journal if you don't want everyone knowing your business.

I usually talk to either the girl that I work with or my mom that's about the only support system I have

[michele2042]

It depends, I love my husband but honestly, he's not the best listener.  He is in some cases but others I can tell (been married 44 years) that he really doesn't want to hear it.   Most times I tend to talk to myself, not out loud, but I do try to figure things out for myself.   There are a couple of friends that if needed, I know I could call them and talk but I tend to be a person who doesn't like to burden others.

I don't really trust anyone with my true feelings. Not my husband, not my mom. I talk to my cat sometimes, but she couldn't care less. I've learned that even the people closest to you don't want to hear about your problems, not because they don't care but because they feel uncomfortable or don't know how to help. It's hard when your bottle fills up. I usually just cry a lot.

I talk to my Mom, daughter and sister(s) 1 more so than the other. I always talk with my God.  I'm learning a lot these days about where my place is in this part of my life.  I know that my relationship with my Lord is growing stronger as my faith is growing and I have a peace I had as a child once.  I'm pray I'm following his path to make me a better person all around.  If I wasn't leaning on him I wouldn't be talking with my Mom, daughter or sister(S) still.  Trying to take care of things all on my own.

I use to talk to my mom sometimes but she is in a nursing home now and not interested in talking anymore. So sad. I still have my daughter whom I have always talked to even more than my mom. Its good you can vent on here.

I talk to my husband and my brother.  My mother used to be my go-to-person, but she passed away a few years ago.  Sometimes the desire to talk to her is overwhelming.

I talk to my sister or my best friends. I am lucky to have such great friends that will listen.

I share my feelings (good or bad) with Our Heavenly Father. I usually after that call my Mom. As old as I am, I still run to her.
