When you are struggling with your mental health, it can feel very lonely and suffocating. Reaching out for help can be one of the most positive steps toward healing and recovery. We, at Bio-One of Fremont, know this was probably the hardest thing to do. If you are not exactly sure how to ask someone to help with your mental health, we are here to assist in any way possible.
Be clear on what you want: One thing with asking for help is to know what you want besides willingness. Think about the kind of support you would need and what you desire from such aid. Knowing what you need—or do not—makes all the difference in the world when looking for help. It could be a sympathetic ear, professional advice, or someone—possibly even a group—to monitor you regularly. With clarity comes the sense of feeling okay about leaping asking for help from professionals or those around you working with you toward finding solutions during downtime.
Choosing who to talk to: Okay, that is a naive but still important decision. Going to somebody you can trust and with whom it is possible to share your mental health issues openly. This may be a friend, family member, mentor, or mental health professional. Always keep in mind that you are never going through all these alone, and there are people who genuinely do care for you and are willing to help.
Choose your moment and setting wisely. Introducing a conversation on your mental health can significantly be influential based on when you decide to talk and the setting you choose. Pick a quiet setting with no distractions, where you can speak without feeling judged. Secondly, factor in their availability and try to schedule a chat when they are less likely to be super busy and can give you the support you need.
Talking about it: Mental health is a complex topic for most people to discuss, but you need to own up to your feelings and not sugarcoat what is happening. Start with sharing what you think is wrong and why you need help. Instead, express your feelings with "I" statements that avoid assigning blame or judgment about yourself or others. Prepare yourself for follow-up questions and relevant context, but never feel afraid to step away or end the conversation if you feel your anxiety spiraling again.
You should be proud of yourself; it takes guts and nerve to ask for help. So take time to recognize that act and congratulate yourself on your courage. Your convo can go badly or not, but this act is a huge win, so take pride in it. There you go; be proud of yourself for making such a vital self-care and healing choice.
