I think I am the opposite with my husband. I tell him everything. I try not to be overly dramatic or whiney, but I do tell him if I am having a tough day. I stayed silent for a while, and he chased me wanting to ask me every 20 minutes if I was ok. Finally I said STOP IT! and he said "you first!" he told me he knew I wasnt feeling well and wanted me to rest, and was upset that I was pushing myself so hard.

For the rest of my family, they like to have competitions on who is sicker, so I say nothing! If you tell my sister you have a cold, she has the flu. If you have the flu, she has the swine flu. If you have cancer, she needs open heart surgery. sad, really sad. I keep telling her sickness isnt a competition, but she doesnt hear me.

I hope you are able to find some peace, and some rest.
