I Don't Know How to Ask For Help

When I was young, I learned that asking for help was a sign of weakness - well, to ME - it was a sign of weakness. As I grow older, I don't fear this as much.
This last year of my life has REALLY opened my...

A lot of people come to see me. They start out their conversation with " I don't need any help, but can we talk?"
That's the key to helping, let others talk.
People feel better about themselves if they can talk without...

I wrote another story, in another group in reference to my molestation as a child.. I really have a hard time thinking and talking about it. I havent told anybody but those you on ep about it. A recent event caused the memory to surface...

I don't ask for help really. I try everything else first, I think it through over and over, analyze, try to fix it myself, only when I'm positive I can't go on without it do I ask. Why? Hmm. This confuses me a bit too. I don't want to...

This is something I have always had trouble with.  From asking for a simple helping hand, to a heartwrentching plea.
I still don't know why one little word can be so hard to say. Maybe part of it is admiting that there is a...

I don't know how to ask for help. I don't know how to do it. I am So bad at reaching out, even when I am at my worst. Yes, I can easily reach out to someone else, when they are hurting, or I see they are suffering, but than when it...

I could use help, but do I even really want it? I'm not so sure. Sometimes I feel as if feeling depressed & hopeless is where I belong; the only place I can feel comfortable. I don't think I'd even begin to know how to be happy anymore...
