It can indeed be hard to share problems with others especially if they live nearby and can hurt you. If we think this it most likely did happen before. It is a good lesson to think with whom we share what.

To me writing helps. It a way to relieve, think and share whatever it is at the first place with me.
I no longer care what people think why should I and why being ashamed? You shouldn't be either. Sooner or later we all struggle and I learned that it doesn't hurt to ask.

You found yourself a true friend and this says a lot about you. Your friendly, positive energy. Inviting you for dinner, sending you a bit money... see it as a sign or payment for the joy you brought someone else.

Thanks for inviting me, you know where to find me.
