Help Me Reach Out

How do I reach out to friends and family for support? I always feel guilty doing so, or like they don't actually care. I hate feeling weak, and I know I'm emotionally repressed, how do I ask for help?

Would it be easier to write them a letter? I find it easier to write my feelings down then to voice them. It is really great you are going to reach out for support.

Yeah I should try that, but it just feels embarrassing. Still worth a shot, thanks

autumnday has said write a letter and that's what I usual say to people who just cant put it across of how they feel.be as open and honest as much as you can in order to get the best support from family and friends.reach out on here its gook to talk.

I know exactly what you mean but I also know that reaching out and being willing to accept their support is what they would most likely want. That’s the key though. If you just need to vent make that clear. If you’re looking for help and advice make that clear. This world is so effing busy rush etc. that it’s so hard to feel like your thoughts and feelings are valid. However, they are. Just as everyone’s is.

Yeah I'm trying to reach out more. I finally got a doctor who referred me to a psychiatrist so hopefully in a month or so I'll get some actual help
