Help

I was thinking … how much one can or should endure until seeking help?

We all reach a point in our lives where we are starting to struggle. There is no recipe in when and how it will happen and the magnitude of if, but it is certain that the point will be reached. Some of us are getting there early on in live, maybe with studies, some will experience it mid life or maybe late, while fighting to make ends meet or maybe unexpected through loosing someone close. Through all challenges, there is a tendency to let you know that you must face it all alone. To “man up” and don’t show any emotions and go through it like it was never a problem in the first place. While this can function for a while, it will come a time when everything will become hard to manage and maintain. We are at our core social beings and we learned from early stages of our evolution that we are able to do great things, when we are together.

Will this relate to reaching for help when needed? I would argue, especially in those moments of loneliness, we should not be afraid to get the help needed from whatever source needed. It mustn’t always be specialized professional help. It can be a friend to which you share your thoughts, can be your significant other who can support you in getting over that Hop, can be reaching to Her with your prayers. If nothing works, don’t be shy in getting further help through all available sources. Don’t think for a moment that you are alone and no one hears you. We all go through difficulties and we all appreciate a helping hand even though sometimes are too afraid to admit.

So go get the help you need, ask for it in your thoughts and dreams and always remember, you are not alone in this.

Until next time, with all my love,
