I'm really pretty sure lots of people I know (myself included) don't ask for help for the same reason you don't always. I always feel that others have enough crap going on and probably can't really do anything to help out anyhow. Sometimes, though, I feel like I've built things up so much that they seem gargantuan, but, after talking to someone about the problem(s), I realize things are manageable if only in small bits ("one day at a time" and all).<br /><br />And, again, I am right there with you with my issues being the same damned ones over and over again. You'd think I'd learn, maybe, but these issues like me.<br /><br />Thank you for talking, reading, writing, being there over the years (really, years...wow). I am striving to be the kind of friend who is actually there; it helps to have good models.<br /><br />(As for the boat/water thing: I think of you when I think of such metaphors. And, I always think of the time you were explaining "buttload" and I swear it has some nautical history.)vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854030795263204694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968464589090312851.post-20639489228100639232011-11-09T09:16:51.351-08:002011-11-09T09:16:51.351-08:00You know those times when you read something that ...You know those times when you read something that you could have written yourself? This is one of those. <br /><br />For me, I think I keep a lot to myself because those around me are not really able to help. I am a helper which means I attract some pretty self-involved friends. <br /><br />I also know that a lot of my "issues" are the same ones over and over and I feel like I am a broken record. Literally broken.<br /><br />I am glad to hear that you have asked for help. I know how brave that is. Also, I am going to email you my cell number. Text or call if you like.<br /><br />K<br /><br />Oh, and I like the boat metaphor.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03543466907767721445noreply@blogger.com
