Do you find it hard to ask for help?

Even when people have offered to be there for me I still find it hard to reach out. I worry that people were just being polite, or might have their own stuff going on, or maybe just aren’t in the mood and if I reach out they’d feel obliged or guilted into talking to me. My head can just be such a dark place and all of my thoughts work against me. I’d rather suffer on my own than feel like a burden to others

Depends what kind and which context. Medical? Mental? Home stuff?

@SW-User It's always hard to admit you need that type of health because it's considered taboo and comes with its risks. Often it escalates to alarming degrees before real action is taken and that's where the danger lies.
