no one would think your weak for wanting
help , you would be really strong for
having the courage to go ahead and ask. i
was afraid when i asked my parents for
help for my eating disorder, ic ouldnt
like talk to them face to face so i wrote
my moma a letter with the help of my bf at
the time. it was the best thing i ever did
. dont be afraid to ask for and get help

I've asked for help, but I never got it
instead I was treated like an experiment
and less worthy...

Hi,
Dont be afraid to ask for help...Just
think of this...Who ever leave in this
world that dont need help..Everybody needs
help, even me needs help....Dont be afraid
to ask...You are not weak to do that...You
are a person, a human to do that...Dont be
afraid...Just tell yourself this when a
time comes that you are afraid to ask for
help..."It's now or never"...
What you dont know wont hurt you...Hope
that you overcome it girl.
hey there, I know excactly how you feel.
It's not a very comfortable thing to just
come out and tell people that you have a
problem, but you defenetely need to take
action thow. The way I did it was got help
personally, without many people knowing. I
called the NERT (negative emotional
release treatment) centre and booked the
appointment and just took the train down.
Now that I've released all of my
depression and anxiety, I feel that I can
tell my story now, without them seeing me
week and what not. Before I found this
treatment, I was really trying to keep
things secret, I would order things in the
mail that tought me about depression and
anxiety,, and I would wake up super early
every day to check if the mail came,,
cause I didn't want my family seeing what
It was. If you want someone to talk about
this with, or know more about how I was
cured... feel free to chat with me... send
me a personal message or something. ..
take care
Please don't feel helpless. If you're not
getting the help you think you deserve, go
see another doctor until you find one that
suits you. Yes, this may seem like an
experiment, because to find the right
therapy, whether it be therapist, GP or
medicine is hard. It is kind of like trial
and error, because no meds work the same
way in different people. That's why people
react differently to different medicines.
Don't feel hopeless. Look forward to
solving the problem.
Try everything that may help you. Think
ahead. What would you like to be 5 years
from now? That helps you stay motivated.
Don't dwell in the moment.
I would like to help you the best way I
can. Feel free to talk if you want to.
