Talking about stress with someone you trust
It’s one of the hardest things to do, but communicating to someone you trust that you’re feeling stressed is one of the best ways to cope with it.
Being open can make you feel vulnerable, but it also can be really empowering. It lets you take charge of your stress, recognise your emotions and put them into perspective. You’re also letting someone you trust know that you’re having a rough time at the moment, so they’ll be there for you if you need it.
