I'm grateful for the help I get and their offers, but I do not appreciate the avoidance of them not wanting extend a listening ear with understanding. There are times when that is all it takes to improve a situation - being a friend. Money can't buy those things. Maybe this makes sense?

It's a case of self-worth on my end and being grateful, yes, but recognizing the sad truth that they'd rather offer money in place of themselves when I love them so much. It couldn't hurt for me to be a little more understanding towards them and in turn I'm sure they will eventually come around to being more understanding toward my mental health, also. I'm not going to wait around for them, though. I need help. I'm getting it, and trying to do what's right for me.
