Felt bad about people being nice to me

Ive always been the person going above and beyond to help other no matter what the situation but never recieved it back. Today after so long people were helping me when I’m at my lowest. I felt so happy I cried and my chest felt like it was going to explode.

That only lasted for about 30s, after which I felt guilty, sad and thought something bad was going to happen. I felt hopeless for a reason I don’t know.

What is wrong with me 😭

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you. I’m guessing you help others because you enjoy it? Or it makes you feel good? Whatever the reason, try to see that in other people. Others want to help people just like you do, and if you allow them to help you, it can help them. So if you really help people no matter what the situation, shouldn’t that include helping others by letting them help you? The experiences you have with helping people is only possible because they allow you to help them, why not give other people that same opportunity? :) Just an idea, you may have already thought of that. I wish you the best!

That’s really profound I didn’t think of that. I’ve always felt like im weak if I ask other for help or what will they think of me if I ask them for help.

Asking for help is definitely not a sign of weakness. Getting help shows that you are willing to do what it takes to get better, and that is strength :) not everyone will see it that way, but the important thing is that you do what you need to do to be your best, regardless of what anyone else will think :)
