Do you find it easy to ask for help?

I tried to come up with a straight answer, but this really depends on the situation... In "everyday life," people have taught me it's bad to be helpless. If I'm lost and I have no other option, I'll find someone to ask directions from--simple things like that, that's no problem, most people are glad to help. On a more serious note, things like my suicidal thoughts or my addiction to sugar or my lack of financial support or my dysfunctional family life, the only person I ask help from is my love. Most people don't want to know the truth, they don't care to hear about my personal life, can't relate, and they don't care to help if it brings them down in any way. Besides, I'm not messed-up enough to ask for help, right? I used to ask for help from the Internet, now I hardly do that anymore; I write in my journal, ask myself for an answer first, and usually it recirculates in my mind until the next big issue comes along. I am considering seeing a therapist for help, or at least another perspective, but I don't have faith in that, or much else, really.
