Hello,

I wanted to write about asking for help because my whole life I dealt with things myself and was trying not to bother anyone else with my problems.

I was taught that asking for help means – more abuse or being ignored.

However, if I would have asked for more help my life would have been absolutely different.

This year I made a big decision that really impacted my life and made me feel proud of myself – I asked for help.

Before that I always hesitated or was afraid. Or I thought I didn’t deserve to be helped. I thought I can handle things myself when I clearly couldn’t.

However, I want to very encourage, go and seek help. Whatever it is you need. Go knock on one door. Try second ones, third. I do believe there is always a way to get help.

It is of course scary, if you were taught that you can’t ask for help. Or you were told you bother others.

Always remember this, if someone asks you for your help? What do you respond?

Do you help? If you cannot help, do you refer them to someone who might?

I personally always try to help, unless I know it is out of my capabilities. None of us are superman. And all of us have different strengths.

That is why it is amazing how much we can do, if we combine our strengths and reach for the things together.

So yes. Please whatever you struggle with, go and ask for help.
