when my parents tell me to quit complaining about how much I miss europe
I’m like:
Strength
I come on here and keep seeing all these things about strength saying that you’re strong because you don’t need anyone else and to stop asking you what’s wrong because you’ll handle it yourself and you can do anything you want to because you’re a strong independent person and you’re capable of anything. It’s sad because these are normally the people who need help. It’s also sad to me because it is why depression and bipolar disorder and substance abuse problems have such a negative stigma. People think that these people are weak, especially if they go to get help for it. And people are scared to death to show how they feel. People are scared to seek help or rely on someone because they feel that it makes them weak.
However, to me, strength isn’t about hiding how you feel. It isn’t about not showing weakness. It isn’t about not allowing people to see your fears. It isn’t about doing everything yourself.
Strength is about knowing when it is right to ask for help. It’s about going to people when you need someone to listen. It’s about going to people when you need advice. It’s about going to people when you need physical help. It’s about showing weaknesses and embracing them, improving on them to make you a better person. It’s about seeing those fears and running straight into them, defeating them and challenging them. It’s about allowing other people to help and knowing when you cannot do things by yourself. You can’t do everything by yourself. Sometimes you’ve got to rely on others.
Knowing when you need to do that is strength.
Sometimes, it takes a lot of courage and strength to ask for help. When you’re at your lowest and you ask for help, well, I just think that’s stronger than continuing to let yourself fall further into that hole.
