I have been chronically horrible at asking for help from anyone, including my therapist. It just seems that those I do ask for help from never really follow through or DO help! It's intensely frustrating. My therapist I called her on Wednesday after a cutting incident (I am a cutter) and she rang me back but I wasn't home. So she told me that she would wait to hear from me again. So I e mailed her and left her a message both and then again yesterday and she still hasn't gotten back with me. I mean why ask for help when you're just going to be ignored anyway? My Husband complains that I spend too much time "with it" and that "all you've become is the abuse". I bought him a book the Allies in Healing book (fantastic book) and he won't even look at the thing! It's frustrating at best and no wonder I feel so all alone?
I understand! I, too, bought my husband the same book and I think I've read it way more than he did. I also have trouble asking or admitting that I need help. Why call someone, they might not be home, or, in the case of my therapist who says to call her when I need to, if I know what she is going to say why not just say it to myself and not bother her!
