IMO, you're not bothering anybody. You're reaching out and that is good! As someone said, we all need support at times but receiving is hard to accept. You've helped out others during the times that you can, now we're here to help you.

It's okay if you need to sleep right now. But please try and move around a bit while you're awake - just a little bit each day - one step then two then three then four . . . . You may not feel it now or believe it, but it will help you to feel better. I know it seems an impossible task, but please try. Going out to dinner worked out well, yes?? You got some things off your chest that you needed to say and your family behaved. Use that experience as a spring board for the next one.
