I need help.

I had a relapse last night. (There's actually a different thread about that.) But for the first time in my life, I want to get the help from someone that I know I need. I think I'm going to tell my friend about my relapse. I know it might worry him, but having him on my side and not having to take this alone might really help. Do you think it's a good idea? I don't want him to think I'm weak by asking for help, but I know having his support would make me feel a little better.

i dont think, he'll think your weak, he'll be glad you asked him for help rather than trying to struggle on your own. i think its a good idea, especially if you feel having him know and be there for you will help you xxx

I did it, guys! I finally did it. I called him and told him. And he's here for me. Hewas angry that I didn't call him before, or tell him sooner. He made me promise to talk to him if I ever felt that way again. And god, there's so much love and worry in him. I never thought that confessing, and asking for help, for a shoulder to lean on could fill my heart with such overwhelming joy as to be so loved. To know that he cares so much. I've never felt so happy, or cried with such joy.

I am so glad for you! It is so nice to have someone that cares about you and looks out for you that much! I am happy that calling him worked out so well. That is great news.

That's really great to hear. Well done!
My experience is that people do care and want to help, even though I worry otherwise.
Joy is a very special feeling. And feeling loved is very precious.
