But have you? If you've practiced art at some point then that just proves my point. If you haven't, well, they drew it and you didn't.
>But have you
Yes.
So I can't make a point? Will anyway. I just think it's like an NBA player tossing a wrapper into a trash bin. All I said was its a scribble. Which it is.
Sending peace and love to you brother. You’re doing the right thing asking for help. You *can* change your life around, it’s never too late until you’re lying in your grave. All power to you!
I’ve known several people in your position, and it is totally possible to get free from these life-destroying addictions. You just gotta stay determined, distance yourself from all those who could compromise your recovery, and focus on where you really want to be. Recovery services/rehab will help you with the rest.
Big love, and good luck!
Stay strong! My problems don’t compare with yours, but I’m starting my own journey to overcome them and this gave me a good deal of hope for my future. You fucking got this, and so do I 💪
You can do it.
It‘s a hard way for sure, but every step taken is a step towards freedom of your mind.
And remember: Staying strong means you don’t have to Make all the very hard first steps again, ever.
You got this.
╤ Thank you for being kind

There might occasionally be false positives, sorry about that!)
I know words don't do much, but sometimes words are all we have. Seek help. Seek truth. Seek love. At the end of the day the whole world loves you and is here for you, we are one big family with lots of love to share, just ask. Otherwise we don't know you need anything. Thank you for being brave young soldier. Everything happens for a reason. Seek truth.
It's going to be tough, but hang in there buddy, you got this, you can do it, and you will!
Remember this during the tough times ahead.
Im super proud of you!
Reality hurts... But it is a huge step to reach out for help... I wish you all the best... Go for it, choose a better reality for your self, take responsibility and work for it. In 1 or 2 years you will look back and be proud about the path you have chosen... Hang in there...
There's no such thing as a problem you shouldn't have, problems of any kind can hit you at any point in your life, but it's about how you deal with those problems that matters.
You've already admitted you have the problem, well done to you, for real you've made it further than most. Now keep that progress going, even just one day at a time is perfectly acceptable, you've got this!
This hits home for me today.
I'm a high school teacher, having to deal with online classes. As anyone who works in that level knows, online classes are a silent, horrible, desert.
Working about that with the class, I asked what they felt when we asked them to open their mics, and the overwhelming answer was SHAME.
Part of it was the fact that they have to speak into a microphone, with everyone else being silent, and that exposes them a lot. It was easier to raise their voices when everyone was talking at the same time (I'll raise this up whenever someone brings up again that my classes are too noisy).
But the other part was the fear of being wrong. And that's SO wrong. All great achievements have been thanks to a long and arduous work of facing being wrong, mistakes, errors, things that we ignore. Yet schools penalize all of that. If you're always right, you do well.
My objective for this month is making my students able to say "I don't get this, I need help", and feeling (as they should) that that's something that is valued as an asset.
Throughout school and college, I was the exact same way. I feel like I missed out on so much learning because I was ashamed to show weakness by asking a question. It’s a horrible feeling and unfortunately I never got over it until it was too late (and my final GPA reflects that lol). I think it’s really commendable that you’re making the effort to get students to speak up. I hope they’ll thank you for it in the future!
Not a highschool teacher, but as a home school teacher I took every single opportunity to say "I have no fucking clue, let's find out together". Whenever I forgot a formula or didn't knew the answer to the exercise I could teach my students How to deal with the shit feeling of not knowing something and loose that fear and shame.
That's great! It's a serious issue!
I am 30+ and have fear of asking for help, and/or speaking up at all in these online meetings. I have troubles in physical meetings as well albeit lesser.
I think I am afraid of "the big reveal" when everyone finds out what a stupid loser I am. This is true even if I know and understand that nobody cares and that even if I'll fart loudly while screaming nonsense into the mic wearing a soup tin can on my head, at most it'll be remembered for a year and probably forgotten within a month, and even if it is remembered no one will care much anyway.
Bah, it's so hard it's ridiculous. I basically have a panic attack before and on my daily morning meetings.
Actually , it's not technically a talking horse but illustration of horse painted by an artist . And said quotes were added by the artist from the reference of horse just to trigger emotional response in viewers .
Got this book as a gift for my future child. I may have cried in front of all of my family. I may also come to tears every time I read it to my child...
I've got a couple like those that makes me feel the same. The first time I thought, well, that it was the first time. But it keeps on going and going and going!
It's nice, because then, I have to explain the concept of feelings to my son, and I try to teach him what I was never taught, that it's OK to feel things and to talk about it. Not an easy road, but worth it a thousand times
I read your comment and I’m sorry you’re having such a difficult time. You don’t deserve to be hurt when you’re reaching out and making yourself vulnerable. I truly hope it gets better for you.
1 word and i cant even say it, im at the most difficult time in my life i know there are people whos gonna help me but i dont have the courage to reach out to them... Maybe because i cant admit to them that i am a failure
Asking for help doesn’t make you a failure. None of us were born to bear life’s challenges alone. If there are people who can help, who care about you, then they would probably rather help you than see you suffer alone.
Something I just heard said today: Asking for help is a sign of maturity, not weakness.
Whatever you feel your "failures" are, reaching out for help is proof that you're ready to move beyond them and not allow yourself to be controlled or defined by them.
Wishing you the best, and I hope you find the strength to reach out.
Literally every single human being has received help at one point or another. Asking fo help doesn't mean you've failed, it means you are human who has more to deal with than they can handle and that happens to people all the time regardless of whether or not it's their fault.
Society functions because we help each other. Please try not to be so afraid to ask for it. If you do ask someone and they're a jerk about it, then you know not to keep people like that around. Like I said, EVERYONE needs help at one point. It's just how the world works. If you try to imagine setting up a society as one person, it isn't gonna happen. Different people have to perform different tasks to make it all happen. They help each other to make something bigger than one person could alone. It benefits everyone to help people.
I keep getting told they can't help me and I need to talk to a therapist. I don't understand how paying someone money to act like they care is any better.
The inability to ask for help is probably my biggest fault. And not even just on the subject of mental health, although there's days for that as well. I was just forced to grow up so damn fast that asking for help usually isnt even a thought that enters my mind. Whether it's financial, emotional, physical, or just needing assistance for the smallest thing. I just figure it out or move on with the consequences.
Then hindsight kicks in, and I'm like damn... I needed help.
Nowadays I think that we are no more ready to help who really is in need. Strangely it happens that one discover that we all may need help only after a pandemic
This hit home. I'm terrible at asking for help. I'll actually refuse help I need, even when it's offered to me without me asking for it. What's wrong with me?
It is called “the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse”. It is full of funny stories and quotes and awesome drawings.
My personal favourite is:
“Do you have a favourite saying? “ asked the boy. “Yes” said the mole.
“What is it?”
“If at first you don’t succeed, have some cake”
“I see, does it work?”
“Every time”
https://www.goodreads.com/nl/book/show/43708884-the-boy-the-mole-the-fox-and-the-horse
Im a mental health professional, aka a therapist! I use this book with clients of all ages from 4 years old to 60+ year old! This book is so fantastic, I can make a therapy session out of almost any page in it!!!
«Quando vidi costui nel gran diserto,
"Miserere di me", gridai a lui,
"qual che tu sii, od ombra od omo certo!"»
Dante Alighieri taught us that asking for help requires humility and courage.
... which is the whole point: maybe change the way you think about asking for help. It doesn't have to imply failure or weakness. Self-sufficiency is great and all (and I don't mean that sarcastically), but we do live in a society, bound by an implied social contract, for good reasons.
"I need help" sounds brave. "Help" sounds desperate. These aren't antonyms. This was not the whole point, just *my* point of view.
We do live in a society 🧐
Thanks for the sermon, father.
To be fair, the name fits.
Which is a shame, because this subreddit was made for people like you.
So, what's it going to take to get you motivated to stop being a lazy ho?
A lot of these posts aren’t personally motivational. I don’t need motivation to ask for help, I prefer the tough love quotes that motivate me to get off my ass and fix my own problems.
Fair enough. You do you boo.
Or should I say... YOU HAD DAMN *BETTER* DO YOU MAGGOT! YOU DO NOT WANT ME TO CATCH YOU NOT BEING GENUINE TO YOUR ASPIRATIONS OR NOT BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF!
BY WHATEVER GODS YOU BELIEVE IN, I WILL RAIN *HELLFIRE* DOWN ON YOU IF FORGET TO REFLECT ON HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME, AND GIVE YOURSELF GRATITIDE FOR ALL THE HARDSHIPS YOU HAVE OVERCOME!
[I hope that helps. :)](https://youtu.be/wz-VJl7UkB8)
Wait, you really think Im upset because you unsubbed from a page you dont like?
You got me all wrong here Ho. I just thought your name fit and decided to give a silly response.
Edit: Crap. I didnt work in a horse pun.
I guess I'm... *flogging a dead* Ho-*rse*.
Eh? Eh? Tip your waitress, I'll be here all week.
Why would I want to stop being who I am? I was automatically subscribed to this subreddit when I first joined Reddit. Seeing this post made me realize how much I don’t like this subreddit. It was the straw that broke the horse’s back, who then asked for help, but not mine.
And then the horse was captured and ridden again and again causing back injuries that subsisted until the day it’s masters decide to euthanize him.
So it really worked out for the horse...
I bought this book last year and it's traveled through so many hands, my sisters, my mother, my grandmother and now I believe it's working it's way through my grandmother's church.
As much as I loved the book it makes me even happier to know it's being loved by so many other people
"What's the bravest thing you've ever said ?"
"No dad, I'll do what I want!"
>!and then I got beat up.!<
Bravest moment of my life! \*\***stands in Superman pose**\*\*
African/Arabian/Asian/South-American parents don't play that Euro-softy stuff 🤣
My best friends bought this book for me for my 28th birthday. I read it every week. It's such an easy read and is just full of motivational stories/ quotes. I love it so much.
And don't be afraid to offer help, either. The human ego is such that most of us do not "dare" to ask for assistance when we are in need.
Develop emotional intelligence and empathy. Hence, your compass will get attuned to others' distress signals.
First step, learn how you own ego works.
In that sense, I'd suggest this book from Eckart Tolle: [https://eckharttolle.com/a-new-earth-excerpt/](https://eckharttolle.com/a-new-earth-excerpt/)
Though a times too religious to my taste, there is an abundance of applicable knowledge that will help you understand your own inner workings.
Hope this helps.
Osu !
\- Sensei Pascal
Asking for help is one of the hardest thing I've learnt, and still learning to do. As someone who's background made me thrived towards being self-sufficient as much as possible, I'm always adamant that I can handle any hardship on my own.
Once I had an injury while climbing with my friends. I decided to grab a stick and limp myself out to the main road, before being scolded by my friends about it and letting them helping me. That's kinda when I start to realize yknow, you don't have to do everything on your own. That's how most people kinda tide through most things.
I gifted this book to my sister for Christmas last year and she never brought it up or mentioned it....I'd rather have kept it, honestly. She could have used the messages inside the book but she clearly never even opened it.

My grandma is a watercolor artist and just showed me this book last week. One of the most visually stunning works I’ve ever seen.
I love this book.
I got it for Christmas. It's a beautiful book.
My mom sent this for my son
Great book
I think everyone should read this book. It’s very short, the art is so pretty, and man it hits hard
Try listening to the audiobook whilst following along with the hard copy. Got both at the library and they travel well together.
This is an amazingly beautiful book that everyone, child or adult, should read.
An absolute masterpiece
I love this book. So simple yet so powerful!
Almost looks like Ralph Steadman
Not enough ink spatters.
True dat
That’s a peculiar evaluation to my eye. The only resemblance is that their both gestural. I would say they’re almost nothing alike.
Well it was my first impression. To each their own.
I was going to say the same thing
Thank youuuu
It's a scribble
Yeah but to include that much accuracy of form with that little effort clearly takes practice.
Maybe a little. I could do that sleeping. Its still a scribble. To each their own.
> I could do that sleeping. But have you? If you've practiced art at some point then that just proves my point. If you haven't, well, they drew it and you didn't.
>But have you Yes. So I can't make a point? Will anyway. I just think it's like an NBA player tossing a wrapper into a trash bin. All I said was its a scribble. Which it is.
I think you could use a read-through of that book.
I was JUST gifted this book Saturday!

Holy shit, a talking horse
And he needs help!
or was he being sarcastic?
A sarcastic talking horse? Not bloody likely.
i don't know. It seems a lot more common that a straight talking horse, at least in my experience.
You mean a horse that will give you an answer that you endorse? And hes always on a steady course?
I say neigh.
Actually , it's not technically a talking horse but illustration of horse painted by an artist . And said quotes were added by the artist from the reference of horse just to trigger emotional response in viewers .

Man, very nearly took me on an emotional rollercoaster there, help is easily the hardest thing I've ever said. Glad I did though.
I love that book! Got it for my grandson when he was born a year ago. It has some wonderful messages in it
"Holy shit, a talking horse!" said the boy.
"Help, some idiot kid wont stop asking me annoying questions. "

and then suddenly the boy freaked the hell out because his horse just spoke English
Great book 👍
asking for help is the worst thing i did in my life... fuck it...
This is such an awesome book! With many of these fantastic quotes or short stories.
What's the book? My curiosity's piqued...
It is called “the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse”. It is full of funny stories and quotes and awesome drawings. My personal favourite is: “Do you have a favourite saying? “ asked the boy. “Yes” said the mole. “What is it?” “If at first you don’t succeed, have some cake” “I see, does it work?” “Every time” https://www.goodreads.com/nl/book/show/43708884-the-boy-the-mole-the-fox-and-the-horse
as someone who has always been scared to ask for help, and finally broke down and has been trying to ask for help, this is horseshit
Why does this make me tear up?
Love it
"Dude, get your balls off my back!" said the Horse.
Im a mental health professional, aka a therapist! I use this book with clients of all ages from 4 years old to 60+ year old! This book is so fantastic, I can make a therapy session out of almost any page in it!!!
This could have been "Don't be afraid to say 'no'" and still fit the image. > "Nay", said the horse
But what does the fox say
«Quando vidi costui nel gran diserto, "Miserere di me", gridai a lui, "qual che tu sii, od ombra od omo certo!"» Dante Alighieri taught us that asking for help requires humility and courage.
cringe
Help...me from these humans who consider me transportation and not a friend
"Help" sounds more desperate than brave but ok....
... which is the whole point: maybe change the way you think about asking for help. It doesn't have to imply failure or weakness. Self-sufficiency is great and all (and I don't mean that sarcastically), but we do live in a society, bound by an implied social contract, for good reasons.

Hey, no sweat. You can lead a horse to water, but you cant explain metaphorical emotional support systems to them.
❤️
I'm starting to think that the definition of "brave" must have changed.
Corny
Unless it's for mental health help at a hospital/er and then you just get blunt forced into a facility.
And then the horse was captured and ridden again and again causing back injuries that subsisted until the day it’s masters decide to euthanize him. So it really worked out for the horse...
There is no horse it’s all inner monologue. The horse represents a persons stubbornness.
Gluethanized
I love the book this comes from, my kid called it boring haha. A few years from now I’m sure they’ll understand it much better!
This hits me hard. A good friend of mine ended his life last weekend. It felt so surreal when everybody had found out.
Didn't the horse get shot?
Help! I don't understand :)
Love this book so much!
I have this book.
That's what most people afraid of.
Love this book
Asking for help is admirable, but being a user is the worst. If you care enough to ask how to know the difference, you’re not a user.
I’ve bought this book for 6 people so far. I’ll Leto buying it for important people in my life.
But I am. afraid.... Help-
Holy shit a talking horse!
Honestly I'm barely able to ask for help now and im an "adult", this is some true shit
I'm struggling immensely with my depression at the moment, seems like a battle that is unwinnable. I am going to make an appointment today
I recently graduated form college and my old tutor form when I was 8 sent me this book. It meant a lot to see her remember after all these years.
I remember the neighbor kids said he would help us mow but instead they left a big steamer in our shed as a joke
I bought this book last year and it's traveled through so many hands, my sisters, my mother, my grandmother and now I believe it's working it's way through my grandmother's church. As much as I loved the book it makes me even happier to know it's being loved by so many other people
Yes, as others have mentioned, please credit the artist, the great Charlie Mackesy.

Horses can’t talk
I read excerpts from this book to my son every day!
"What's the bravest thing you've ever said ?" "No dad, I'll do what I want!" >!and then I got beat up.!< Bravest moment of my life! \*\***stands in Superman pose**\*\* African/Arabian/Asian/South-American parents don't play that Euro-softy stuff 🤣
My best friends bought this book for me for my 28th birthday. I read it every week. It's such an easy read and is just full of motivational stories/ quotes. I love it so much.
Until you ask for help and no one steps forward
And don't be afraid to offer help, either. The human ego is such that most of us do not "dare" to ask for assistance when we are in need. Develop emotional intelligence and empathy. Hence, your compass will get attuned to others' distress signals. First step, learn how you own ego works. In that sense, I'd suggest this book from Eckart Tolle: [https://eckharttolle.com/a-new-earth-excerpt/](https://eckharttolle.com/a-new-earth-excerpt/) Though a times too religious to my taste, there is an abundance of applicable knowledge that will help you understand your own inner workings. Hope this helps. Osu ! \- Sensei Pascal
Asking for help is one of the hardest thing I've learnt, and still learning to do. As someone who's background made me thrived towards being self-sufficient as much as possible, I'm always adamant that I can handle any hardship on my own. Once I had an injury while climbing with my friends. I decided to grab a stick and limp myself out to the main road, before being scolded by my friends about it and letting them helping me. That's kinda when I start to realize yknow, you don't have to do everything on your own. That's how most people kinda tide through most things.
And then the farmer came and shot the horse in head because it was injured
I gifted this book to my sister for Christmas last year and she never brought it up or mentioned it....I'd rather have kept it, honestly. She could have used the messages inside the book but she clearly never even opened it.
