Why should I talk to someone?
Talking to someone about what’s going on is really important!
There are lots of people you can talk to, and if the first person doesn’t know how to help you, then you can ask them to help you figure out your options.
It can be scary at first considering opening up to someone, but telling another person how you are feeling is the only way the will know! Unfortunately, people can’t read our minds and that means we have to talk about it. Being honest about where you are at is the only way you can take the first step in getting help.
So take a deep breathe and go talk to someone. It can be hard but in the end talking and asking for help is worth it because that puts you one step closer to feeling better.
“The more you talk, the more likely you are to get more help.”
“Realize that you are not feeling okay and that’s okay. People just want to pretend that they feel fine and maybe it’ll go away, but it won’t. It will just bubble up. You need to take the first step and be courageous enough to ask for help.”
