If you thought you were sick, like potentially fatally sick, and you didn't tell the people closest to you, would that be considered lying? No reason I'm asking, just curious.
Yes, you should share your fears as often as you share your happiness
My son didn't tell me or his girlfriend for a long long time he was sick. When he finally confessed, we were straight off to the doctors. He'd been suffering a very long time by that time. Idiot.
He felt better just for telling us. A problem shared ......
It's strangely easier to share a problem of the spirit than a problem of the body, and I have no idea why. It does make such a difference when you do share, but again, no idea why that lesson doesn't take well for some folks--I myself have to learn it over and over again. Human nature, I guess. :)
