Will talking about what happened make me feel worse?

At First it may, just because you are reliving what you feel bad about, but once you have let it out and its not bottled up anymore you will start to feel lmuch better.

usually not, once saying something aloud you often feel less pressured and weighed down by the issue that has been kept inside of you...

While talking about a traumatic event can be difficult, it can also let you accept what happened and help you decide how to move forward. It's a good idea not to get stuck in bad memories, but putting them out in a coherent order, especially to a receptive, trustworthy audience, can help you get over a bad event.

It depends on the person. But as a listener of almost 4 years, some people feel better after talking. That has been my experience. But everyone is different. My suggestion, would be to try a listener, and find out for your self. It does not hurt to try it. I hope you do try it. It might help you. I feel it is better to talk about your feelings, then to keep them bottled up. It is better for your over all health as well. At 7cups we have several ways you can talk.
