Talking openly about how you really feel can often be like
opening a door. Talking can put you back in control and often reveals
the choices you have. Many people feel
pressured into hiding their feelings out of embarrassment, or because they
don’t wish to become a burden to their family or friends. But trying to hide your feelings under a calm
exterior merely saves the problem for later, resulting in stress building up
until it becomes intolerable. Remember,
we are available here in Spain every evening from 8pm to midnight, and our
colleagues in the UK are available 24/7.
Common reasons to call Samaritans are:
* Relationship
and family problems
* Loss,
including loss of a job, a friend or through bereavement
* Financial
worries
* Job-related
stress or overwork
* College
or study-related stress
* Body
image issues
