[brains] accepting/asking for help

[wispfox]

Bits of words that I thought needed a wider audience.


"It's difficult, for me at least, to consider that my perspective on things inside my head might not be accurate to reality, because then I have to face the terrifying possibility that _none_ of what's in my head might be accurate to reality. Instant recipe for insanity, that!

Accepting help implies (in my head) that what I do is not enough. And perhaps will never be enough. I hate that.

But not accepting help ever puts too much of the burden on myself. And that's bad and self-defeating."

--

I have _very_ much difficulty accepting help, and more difficulty yet asking for it. But I ask anyway. And I accept anyway. Because I am not someone who can cope with everything, all the time, on my own. Not and remain reasonably sane, happy, and stable.

they're pretty few and far between.

Which works well for my already overloaded reading list. ;)

I tend to comment a lot, though. I gotcher Peanut Gallery right here

*amused* That works. I don't normally manage to reply _quite_ this quickly or often, because I tend to take a few days->a month to reply (after that point, most comments are no longer worth replying to).

I'm not usually this quick about spamming someone's entry either, but I was stuck on a problem at work and so needed a distraction.

Conveniently, I now have a solution to said stuck problem. So thanks!
