When things get really bad
That’s probably time to talk about it. Granny was right when she told you that a trouble shared is a trouble halved. Talking through the issues can help you step back and get more perspective on whatever is troubling you. If thoughts are racing around your mind on an infinite loop then simply saying them out loud, to someone who is listening, will help you.
