Just ask....

Today, I just had to ask to be heard. I had been feeling pretty frustrated, unliked, blah, blah, blah.....

I made a phone call, took a deep breath, and said: "I really am in need right now, would you please talk with me?" I am feeling unliked .....

Very gratefully, the other person was gracious, kind, and actually glad to help.

I just had to ask.

love to all
Jade

p.s. just ask

you did what so many of us are so afraid to do. it is really great that you reached out to somebody willing to listen. it is a lesson we can all learn from. all we have to do is ask and there is someone there to help. thanks for sharing. take care.

I had a day like this yesterday. I made it through after deciding what I could realistically ask for was basically already happening. After I calmed down and was stable I talked about it with my husband, at least. We are working on it.

glad you got the support you needed, too often we don't and that usually doesn't go well with us BPD's

hang in there!

I know there are people willing to want to help me...
I worry they won't be able to help me so I don't ask for it, whether I don't trust them or myself I don't know...

I think you have reached quite a crucial stage in being able to know what your needs are and ask for them... Well done...

Jade, that's such a great insight--I often feel sorta "unwanted/unsupported" Really, I think I don't give people the opportunity to help me because I'm scared to make myself vulnerable. People can't reject me if I don't give them the chance to know me.
