Sharing My Feelings and Experiences

I have been going through some changes in life and a part of me REALLY wants to talk to someone about it, but I hesitated to do it as quickly as I would have liked. I finally met up with a friend today and shared some of what has been going on. I went home still feeling shaken by the energy surging through me that wants to be expressed more. After thinking about it some, I have come to understand why I am slow to reach out to others.

From my past experiences, every time when things aren't going well and I share my experiences with my friends, I would normally be very negative about it. I am sharing my truth, but my truth at that time is negative. I have learned that after some time has gone by from those experiences, I start to put things into perspective and see things in a more balanced way. As a result, I feel that what I am experiencing now, although my energy in regards to it is negative, is just temporary and I don't want to express my situation negatively, when, maybe, with some time passed and with better health and wisdom, I am able to speak about it in a fairer, lighter way. It will definitely be more pleasing to the ears of the listener and to myself as well.

I just wonder if I don't share my experiences while I am feeling negative, WILL I feel more balanced about it with time or is the talking it out part a necessary step into progressing in the more positive direction?
