Am i selfish?

[Lindsey14]

I feel like I am because I talk about my problems a lot. On here and to friends and family. When they have a problem I try to help, but sometimes its hard when my anxiety, ocd, and other issues pop up.

Hi Lindsey14. I know what you mean thinking you’re selfish because you talk about your own issues and or problems. I figured out that when you reach out for help it needs to be about you and not what others think of you or perceive you. You will reach a point when you can give advice to others or share your experience and help them by being there for them. It’s hard to be there for others when you’re struggling so much within yourself. I have found a little solace in being there for others even though I’m still struggling myself. Just letting someone know that you truly understand how they feel can give so much more support than you realize. I do not think you are selfish just that you are struggling and that’s ok. ❤️

How are you ?

No you are not been, we all need to talk out our problems, however with those around you people can be either disinterested or get bored and tired of listening I suppose.

You have here of course where you can let rip. I also found any of my family members had forgot my Mental Health Concerns so I thought if that is the case, who am I to admit my poor health. So now my family that is still around prefer to leave me to my own devices. That is all very good for me as I never see them now

Hi do you want to hear something so silly but soo good this could work for you like you I don't like talking about my health to family and friends so I say " Hi I'm ok" this I'm ok is very important as what I'm saying is I'm ok considering that I have all of my conditions I'm actually having an ok day my best friend who is my emergency contact figured it out but if I say"hi I'm fine" this means something is up and I get all the questions my friend once got into a fight with my ex husband over this he said nothing was wrong I said myself I was fine and my friend said that is the point she said she was fine not ok call the ambulance she only says fine when something is wrong my friend carried on abit but ambulance was called and they asked my friend how she knew and my own husband missed it when my friend said that I said I was fine thay were like you need to explain why is her saying fine a problem so once she did she was it's like a code ok is good fine is not good like a type of SOS that can be used anywhere and would get your attention right away.
