English term

'sweep things under the carpet

English to Arabic Medical Medical (general)
The context :
Until she met the doctor , she had been accustomed to 'sweep things under the carpet', emotionally and physically. Her inability to do this now in a practical sense (e.g. to leave the housework to her husband), meant that she was also unable to sweep aside the increasing load of anxieties lurking in her mind.
