Yeah it's so frustrating that when men have problems and are dealing with stress, they pull back and go into their cave, whereas women need to talk... even on a hormonal level, the effects are huge. Especially in this day and age, women are becoming more like men, and our brains and bodies aren't coping with it. We have something like 8 times more blood flow to the part of our brain that deals with stress, we don't have as much capacity/storage for our happy hormones and don't make it as easily as men do... so we have to try and make changes so that we can be as happy as we can be. All of this comes down to the way we once lived... women would be together, talking lots and nurture one another while the men went off and hunted. There was not so much stress for women. Those activities created oxytocin and all those other nice happy hormones. But now, we're trying to operate in ways not optimal to our biological programming so women these days are more stressed than they have been in history.
