Please ask for help when you need it. Don't ever let anyone shame you for needing/asking for help. There is nothing shameful about needing help.
Your health and safety is more important than false ideas of social standing.
If I didn't ask for and accept help from people, I wouldn't be alive right now. I'm still far from okay, but I wouldn't be here.
Help others as much as you can. Ask for help when you need to. We are in this together.
