Do You Suffer In Silence?

I sometimes wonder if I have 'victim' tatooed on my forehead but just can't see it .. Generally speaking I'd rather stay quiet than let anyone know I am suffering for what ever reason .. there are many times when I wish someone would notice and just come and sit with me to share the problem .. but I don't know how to ask for that help .. I'm good at helping others .. but not good at letting others help me .. But ... I try not to dwell on my problems either ... that doesn't help ...

I guess that depends on how beaten up I feel. Most often, I do not suffer in silence. My family knows how I feel about things and when my blood sugar gets too low, I am more sensitive. However, if it is something personal that does not involve the child/household, I do suffer in silence. It is then that I feel that I can not show how I feel for the better of my children. My children do not need to know the personal problems between my partner and myself. I do not turn to my siblings or my mother. I do not have a local friend that I can lean on and cry. So I must suffer in silence. To make matters worse, most often, my partner does not want to talk about it either. We lack in communication and have for some time. There are times though that are better than other. But when those times the communication is poor...I suffer in silence more. But I have always found a way to move on and in turn, making me a stronger person.

No. I don't suffer in silence because life isn't all about me. It's about everyone involved. If I don't say something to someone who hurts, uses, or offends other people, then I'm not standing up for all of human kind. It's my responsibilty to protect my brothers and sisters in life by telling jerks to blow off. And I do.

no, i keep my problems with myself and contemplate. but i do talk to my parents and friends how to solve my problems or if there is nothing can be done they just support me and stay with me and just let the phase go way.

I usually suffer in silence. Once in a while though I let it all out. I have family members though that live for their personal pity parties. I can't stand that!

I usually keep all my problems to myself and yes sometimes I do suffer in silence. Once in a while though I let it all out. usually when mum rings up saying nobody cares about her feeling ill — she is always feeling sorry for herself and it really makes me so angry so I will just blow my top and tell her what i think and remind her how ill i am, as she and my whole family seem to always forget! I have to live with my illness, hers hopefully will only last a few days! I don't have a really good close friend that I can talk to and lean on anymore and my partner isn't very good at talking about any medical problems either. If I get moody he will just say 'think we had better check your blood sugar!' So I do my crying late at night on my own which usually makes me feel better. which In a way I think makes me a stronger person.

I suffer in silence. But I have realized that it is not healthy.It is really hard for me to talk about my problems.
