How come talking helps so much? Just finished a conversation with my sister about anxiety, family problems, etc., and it was helpful. I've only been dealing with anxiety at a higher level for about 3 weeks now (I'm 35), but I've found that talking helps -- with mother, doctor, sister, wife. Perhaps the vocalization of the words concretizes the abstract lines of thought tossing around in the mind and allows one to see them for what they are. In the end, talk seems to be hope, to make hope happen. And we can never give up on hope. It truly does prove to be one of the sublime virtues, and one shot of hope genuinely feels better than one shot of anything else.
