“Allowing yourself not to feel okay involves accepting all feelings, thoughts, or sensations and sitting with them until they pass. If you try to avoid, suppress, or ignore them, they will grow stronger, leaving you overwhelmed and believing you cannot cope.” Yes, it’s okay to ask for help. Asking for help is a strength and a normal part of life. It can help save lives, improve relationships, and foster a culture of cooperation.
Opening up to someone will be one of the bravest things you can do. Finding the right person who will listen without judgment can be challenging. Please know that this process will take time and a lot of conversations. After the initial conversation, check in regularly. Let your family and friends know how you’re doing, and keep them updated on any changes in your treatment or overall well-being.
Pick a quiet and comfortable setting where you can talk without distractions or time constraints. Ensure that everyone involved has the time to have a meaningful conversation.
Share your feelings honestly. Be open about what you’re experiencing and how it’s impacting your life. Use “I” statements to express your feelings and avoid sounding accusatory.
Some people may not fully understand mental health issues. Provide them with information about your condition, symptoms, and treatment options. This can help demystify mental health and reduce stigma.
Clearly communicate what kind of support you need. Whether it’s someone to talk to, assistance with daily tasks, or understanding during challenging times, expressing your needs helps others know how to support you.
Understand that your family and friends may need time to process the information. Give them the opportunity to ask questions and share their thoughts. Be patient if they don’t fully understand or if they need time to adjust.
Avoid blaming language and instead focus on your feelings and experiences. This can prevent defensiveness and promote a more supportive atmosphere.
Make it clear that you are open to questions and encourage them to express their thoughts and feelings as well. Healthy communication is a two-way street.
Share resources about your specific mental health condition or general mental health information. This can help your family and friends educate themselves and better understand your situation.
If appropriate, involve your loved ones in your recovery process. This could include attending therapy sessions together, participating in support groups, or learning about coping strategies as a team.
