Is it easy for you to ask for help when you need it, or do you prefer to rely only on yourself? Why?
Photographers, artists, poets: show us SELF.
This is a complex issue for me. There is a large part of me who believes I can pull anything off. Superwoman in disguise, LOL.
Then there is another side of me who is probably the biggest chicken ever. Afraid of rejection, afraid of the word no. This can stop me in my tracks. I can be as a speeding train doing multiple tracks at the same time, and then boom, the train horns signal and the engine stops.
I will hint at what help I need. When this doesn’t work, I get frustrated and then come out with the words.
Sometimes I get the answer I need. Sometimes I get a brush off, and other times I get no reply.
That’s when I curse myself for my age. Weakening joints and muscles prevent me from doing the things I need to do. An example is my bedroom. It is the heaviest darn furniture to me. It needs to be changed so I can sweep the cat hair that is piling up like big cotton balls under my bed.
It will most likely remain like it is because I can not afford to pay for everything I need done.
So in the end I am somewhere between a rooster and a chicken and end up doing without or killing myself trying.

Terry, you are an inspiration to others for your selflessness. I am still praying for you and Al. You are worthy of all the kind expressions of support that come your way. Blessings to you and yours! I always enjoy hearing from you.

I know I won’t ask for help in moving stuff. I know full well that I will end up in intense pain for days or maybe even weeks afterwards, but I don’t want to appear that I can’t do the stuff I used to be able to do.

I have too much pride and besides the people that I would consider asking……..they already know I need the help but don’t offer

Sometimes it does help to ask though, Terry, especially if you cant move things. I know it is not easy to ask.

Asking for help is the hardest task of all for those of us that are caregivers and have always taken pride in the fact that we’ve always been able to do it all. However, I’m beginning to understand that those days areapproaching, they are in my face, that I cannot do it all by myself.

I agree, sometimes I have warped thinking. People who are near me or know me well already know I need the help. If they don’t offer, why should i beg………..

Hehehehe… to ask was very hard for me too, but since my man came into my life, I’ve learned asking now and then 🙂 Now, can I have the chicken please 😀

I want a man in my life too!!!! All that ever seem interested in me are married men, and I can’t go that path. Of course you can have a chicken!
