I used to be able to ask for help under almost any circumstance. Whether it was help for watching my child while I went to a funeral or just asking for help from someone who is a good listener. When you get out of the habit, it becomes harder to do. I need other people in my life to make me feel a part of something bigger than myself. I think when we let out whatever it is that we have inside to share or comment on, the responses that we get in return kind of give us a sense of clarity and a knowing that "I'm ok too". And I'm not just talking about a comment on something as simple as, "you have a nice car", or "that sure is a cute outfit you're wearing". I mean saying something meaningful about something you're going through on an emotional level or about something that requires some effort on your part. I don't want to get carried away here...but thanks, I'll use this today. I want to say, “thank you” very much for the reminder. I used to be able to ask for help under almost any circumstance.

When I ask for help, I feel it is urgent and most of the time, the conversation turns to the needs of the person I am speaking with. It has taken fifty years for me to ask for help. I feel that doing so requires discernment on my part. A team is a great thing, but difficult to assemble. Maybe strangers would be better listeners. Maybe I need new sources for this part of my life. The concept is worth pursuing. Keeping an open mind to help is very difficult for me because I come from a background where I am the one who is sought to help.

It was just my time I reckon! Anyway, some people I first spoke to were unable to help me so I looked further afield and found amazing help on the internet. It got me through there's no question. Sometimes the things said to me made me cry:) and sometimes laugh. The whole experience turned out to be the best time and I would say to anyone who needs help - there is someone out there who can help you, there really is.
