Think this is the hardest thing for me. know I still haven't learned when I need to ask. When do you really know that you need to ask for the help? And then feeling safe enough to take the help. I know recently that I pretty much fell completely apart. To the point I couldn't physically speak and I still had a hard time admitting that I needed help. Think I want to be this super person who can do anything. And when I fall short of prefection I can't live with myselves. Having to ask for help feels like I'm not strong enough. And I should be stronger. But I don't think I'm that strong anymore. Just don't feel like I can do this on my own and I have a very hard time saying I need help. So there it is, I need help. But that's as far as I can go with this for today.

I have trouble asking for help too. That was brave of you.

I'm here if you need to talk. I don't know how else to help.

Monty, it is hard to ask for help. I can hardly ask my T to wrap me up in the blanket but its what we all want as soon as we walk in the door. You are not alone and if ever I can help you I will.

All the girls

I so relate to what you wrote. It could have been me, and there is a strange comfort in knowing I am not the only one who feels that way. Asking for help is really hard for me. But what I realised a while back is that, when someone asks me for help it makes me feel better about myself. So if you ask us for help it might make us feel better and less powerless.
(((((Hugs))))) for you, whatever.

i think most of us here have a hard time asking for help. we understand when others ask for it, and most of us are very happy to give help to others...but we become very awkward and uncomfortable when we need it ourselves.

monty, i am here to help in any way that i can. if you ever need to talk, just send me a PM you don't even have to start the conversation, just say hi...and i'll be right there to help you out however i can.

i think it was brave of you to come here and admit that, because i know how hard it can be to say it or to even write it. BRAVO! on a job well done. take extra care of yourself and stay safe. i am here even if you just need someone to be silent with.

(((((((((((((monty))))))))))))))

TY {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ GEM }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I'm very unsure when it comes to saying what I need. I don't know how to talk about things that are bothering me. I'm just lost when it comes to finding the words.

TY All the Girls, I still have a hard time saying to my T that I need help. Just kind of hope that T picks up that I need help. TY for being here.

TY, Think we have always had to strong, because we knew that we didn't have anyone to rely on. Just hard for me still.
