Helpful and supportive people #Depression #Anxiety #Gratitude #Relationships #MentalHealth
My Wife and I are 8 days into our European holiday. We are loving our time in beautiful Poland. So often we have to stop and use Google translate to work out what train we should be getting on and what the restaurant menu says.
There have been occasions where we have had no choice but to ask someone for assistance. They have always been willing to help.
Bizarrely, there have been multiple occasions where strangers have asked for help, and miraculously we have been able to assist them. Why us? Back in Australia people would walk past our neighbours house and knock on our door for assistance. In crowded areas people would hone in on us. I wonder if there is a vibe, a sense, that humans emit that communicates that they are open to assist others.
I am always amazed at how much support is available for those of us who struggle with their mental health. Sometimes we might have to hunt for that help but it is there.
The most profound and transformative words we can ever utter are the three words, “I need help”. Please don’t be afraid to ask. You are worthy of assistance!
