Who Do You Turn To When You Are Upset?

Do you have someone who's close who you can turn to when you've had a disappointment, been upset or hurt, maybe its your partner, friend, parent or relative.

It would greatly depend on what I'm upset about. For the majority of things, I speak with my Mom about it as we're very close. For some other things I call my friend Julie in Idaho. She's the best friend I have in the world and I can spill to her about anything. (She's the one that I have to tell when I kiss! lol)

I have a close relationship with my mum and I also have a very good friend who is always there for me, I am also there for them as well, I think everyone needs someone in their lives who does not judge them and just loves them for being who they are and not what they have done. If you ever want to chat I am willing to listen. :)

If the pain/hurt is not caused by my partner, he is the one that I turn to. I do not like to talk to others about my problems when I am hurt. But there have been times that I have turned to my sister that is 3,000 miles away from me when my partner had hurt me. With her being so far away, I do not always turn to her. So, other times, I do not turn to anyone. I just suffer in silence until I get over it.

Normally, I go blog it somewhere under an assumed name. It allows me to say how I really feel without angering someone close to me that I have been hurt or upset. If it's something not so bad, I talk to my hubs or my mom. Who are you talking to? Sounds like you've had a real p*sser of a day.

I don't confide in my mum too much as she only worries, and that's not fair to burden her, I'll talk to my father or someone who really knows what I'm going through, I just need to 'offload' I guess, if you bottle it up, you explode..

I used to turn to my dad .. dear old dad .. he would sit there and listen to my angst .. nod wisely .. then ask if I would like another cup of coffee .. bless him .. he made any woes seem surmountable ... Sadly dad passed away on my 50th Birthday a few years ago .. and I still go to pick up the phone now and then to tell him the latest news or ask for advice ... he's very much missed ...

I dont really have anyone to turn and talk to, If I try to talk to my partner he will just say 'pull your self together' give me a hug and get on with what he was doing. When I have tried to talk to mum in the past she will always say 'theres people out there worse than you' and then list her problems! So I keep my problems to myself and I cry alone as I hate people like partner and mother to see me upset because it just hurts even more when they just dismiss my problem as nothing for them to be bothered about.. A good cry always makes me feel better, and I dont find the need to do it too often :)

I have no other to turn to in drab days than my maker. Jehovah God is His name. Jesus is all the world to me, My joy, my life, my all, He is my strength from day to day...
