Getting help

[mario]

There are times when we willingly accept help from others.
If we,re badly injured,We go to the emergency room of the nearest hospital & let the staff there treat us.
If our plumbing,electricity or major appliances break down,we usually call in professionals for the repair work.
At other times,we may resist accepting the help we need. We may not even want to admit
we need help. we may not trust others to give us what we need. We may not belive real help is available.
But help is always available to us.Our families,friends, co workers,therapists,counselors,ministers and doctors,and not forgetting our community here as well, can all help in various ways. Even strangers can sometimes help us, directly or indirectly.
All we have to do is be honest with ourselfs, seek the help we need,and accept it when we find it,.Do you accept all the help you need from others ?.

I think that we are here shows that most of us have at least some awareness of our human need for help.

Sometimes it is very hard to come right out and ask for help. Some of us are so used to taking care of ourselves, having had to for one reason or another, we really don't know how. Though I guess if we are here we are doing that even if kind of indirectly. But that's a good thing, if we need to but are afraid of leaving our comfort zone. A step at a time.

I have gotten used to being strong/sorted for 5 kids at home and underlings at work. It goes against the grain to acknowledge vulnerability but is essential to healing.
