Asking for help is not always easy. Especially if you are used to being the caretaker, keeping everyone else comfortable, or quietly trying to do everything on your own. But needing support does not mean you are failing.
Humans are meant to collaborate, care for one another, and lean on community. It is not realistic, or particularly compassionate, to expect yourself to do everything without help.
Asking for help can be as simple as naming your needs at home, reaching out when you’re struggling emotionally, asking a friend to show up for you, or hiring someone with the skills and support you need.
If asking for help did not feel safe or possible in the past, you are not alone.
But what served you then may not be serving you now.
You are worthy of support.
