I don't know how to accept help

[Pastor_of_Muppets]

I just want to go back to being functional. I used to be. I went years without crying about anything, now I tear up about nothing. I just want to be back to normal. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want meds to fix me. I'm sick to death of all that stuff. The meds make me feel bad in new and exciting ways. What I want is not to need help from anyone. I'm the kind of person who helps other people. I don't like asking for help. This was Just a stupid rant...

Your rant is seen and heard. I understand the difficulty of being the one who helps others and then you realize you yourself need help as well. We all need help at one point or another. After all, we're only human. I wish you luck getting back on track!

I can relate, asking for and accepting help makes us feel vulnerable and uncomfortable. Crying is also a great way to release and heal even though it might not feel like it.
