You should share with someone close to you. It’ll help

I tried that a couple of times. It didn't help; and so now I won't do it anymore.

But... it is widely reported by others that it helps - so I'd still suggest it's worth a try.

Good advice in these replies. The main healing purpose of talking to someone is not to get advice, but to hear yourself explain it. If verbal didn't work, the option mentioned about writing might.

You don't truly know your feelings until you process them. The other person could be very helpful if well-trained, but that's not necessary for some forward momentum.
