I don't feel like failure, I feel like a burden and a hypocrite because I rarely have the capacity to help the people I'm asking for help.

If you don’t ask for help you’re depriving your friend of being important and useful, something that makes them feel good and needed and valued. Ask them for help.

asking for help is like going through humiliation ritual for me. Like the kind of shame that washes over me 😢

OKAY, COMING FROM ME WHO GREW UP INDEPENDENT NOT BY CHOICE AND UNTIL NOW STRUGGLES TO ASK FOR HELP…BUT GETS SO OFFENDED WHEN MY FRIENDS DO NOT ASK ME FOR HELP, I WANT TO EXPLAIN THE OTHER SIDE’S PERSPECTIVE…I want to feel like a super hero for my friends, so please come to ME for help because it would be an honor. To deny me the honor of feeling like a super hero (even if it’s me just dropping off food) is not allowing me to experience joy. And it really hurts. Allow us to sit in the mud and rain with you-that is something I will ask of the humans I love THE MOST, because I don’t ever want to deny them the joy of feeling like a super hero for me when I needed someone. Thank you. 😭

Its so many things. Like i built myself to be so independant and I can do it all. Took on so many roles of the one supporting others than when it gets to me, its indeed burdening them because they can’t sustain their own struggles and I am there support. Make me Seem unreliable.

my biggest thing is there is no shame in failure. Some colds develop into pneumonia which requires help. Some mental struggles develop into something you cant fight off. So you need help. I genuinely dont understand the shame around mental health when physical health can be seen the exact same way as ive kinda lowkey poorly explained above with my cold analogy. I also get the idea of a burden which is a little difficult to. This needs more conversation and im glad you guys are contributing to it.
