Is it OK for me to have needs?

[Kat63]

Sometimes I’m mean to myself. Why can’t I allow myself to have needs, and be OK with that? I’m going through a rough time right now and I’m realizing that I can’t do everything all by myself. Is it really OK if I need help from other people?

Of course it is. We all need help from others at times as no one is an island. You need to attend to your own needs more than you do to others. After all if you are happier than those around you are too. x

Yes it is okay to need help...I didn't have any help with my two teenage boys and wound up having a nervous breakdown. Now my family helps out more. So don't think you're wrong if you need help, we all need help sometimes, we just can't be afraid to ask for that help.

Kat we all need the help of others. It’s part of the human condition. Sometimes the right help is hard to find. Whether it’s coping with our anxiety or other issues, we have to seek it out and that’s hard. It’s not only hard to find at times, but hard to ask for. Coming to this site is one way to get emotional support. I’ll hope and pray you’ll find the right help for your other challenges. xoxo

Of course! We all need help from others sometime, we can’t do it all by ourselves it gets overwhelmed. It never hurts to ask for help or get alone time we need it the more we try to do everything on our own the more stress and anxiety builds up on our shoulder.
