It's important to let people know when you're not coping and you're bound to be surprised at how willing people are to help. If you're struggling with your family life, talk to other mums - it might come as a surprise to know that most parents have felt like this at some point, despite how they might appear on the outside.
If you're stressed about problems at work, talk to your boss about your concerns - or if that's a no-go area, your HR department. They can offer you support and advice.
Charles Linden, stress and anxiety expert says: 'A problem shared is a problem halved. Talking about your problems is not only therapeutic, but can also prove to have practical benefits depending on who you choose as your confident. Try to talk to those people who can help you with a particular problem. Too many people are secretive and guarded when it comes to financial or emotional matters. Open up to someone you trust and see how your world opens up. Secrets are for the guilty!
