Help....Really??

Yes, Really!  It is ok to ask for help.  Many times we become overwhelmed with our own thoughts/situations and we try to figure things out on our own.  We fail to share our concerns with others that may be able to help---for fear that we will waste their time or that our problems/issues are no big deal.

First off, whatever you are worried about IS a big deal-- and that is ok.  Don't feel bad asking for help.  Chances are that whatever situation you are in, someone else has been in that same situation before...and you can learn from their experience.  Take it from me, it is much easier to just ask someone who knows instead of trying to figure things out on your own.
