it's okay to ask for help, and it's okay to need help. it's okay if you need medication, therapy, or a caretaker to live a safe and/or happy life. it's okay if you can't live on your own and have to rely on other people. you are not worthless, useless, or undeserving of love and respect. having a healthy and strong support network and making sure your needs are met is important. your life is important.
