I try to talk about my issues because I don't want any of my friends to have to deal with the same thing. My hope is if they do, they can catch it sooner rather than later. My good friend just suffered a mini stroke and stuff like that scares me. You can seem totally healthy and then bam. It's not like you had a feeling but ignored it. I know you probably know all about that because of your brother. It scares the crap out of me. My wife said to me last night as we went to bed, "you need to stay healthy for me" and I said "I'm trying baby".

Yep, I get it for sure. I just feel that sometimes sharing the burden, not whining can be of advantage to the individual and can also help others around them process things and feel like they're being proactive.
Yes, I totally agree with that. Especially since many of us are going through the same or similar things it helps to have that support.
Yep, this is what's behind my group that works with military veterans. I have written about it before. It's not to get them better, to cure them in any way...just to give them a place to talk, company, people who understand and can relate. Men's groups (done correctly) make a big difference to those who really need it, and those who provide the support.
