I have one simple question for you:

What would Jesus want you to do?

Seriously.  The person who tells you that you “don’t know them well enough to ask” or “don’t really need help that badly” or “haven’t earned help yet” or “will screw things up if you ask” or whatever - that person is not on Christ’s side, here.

The reinforcement of shame, fear, distrust, etc.?  That’s not the Holy Ghost talking.

The hope that you won’t get help, that you’ll go it alone?  Who exactly roots for isolation and total independence for every human being?  It’s not Heavenly Father!

Everything in the scriptures, in General Conference, etc., tells us that we need to serve one another, that we need to lift up one another’s hearts, that we need to bear one another’s burdens.  I didn’t hear anything pleading for us to “struggle through things until you break, before you finally ask for help with the greatest of reluctance and self-hatred, and please make sure you wait till things are way past the point where you actually needed the help.”

That would be what Satan wants us to do.

So, just, you know, keep that in mind when you’re deciding whether or not to get the help you know you need.

These speakers demonstrate and describe pretty much exactly how men should think and act toward their families, even when they don’t mean to.

I had to look it up, because wow.
