I noticed something while reading another SS story and there is a constant theme in them. Guys that don't want to burden anyone with their problems and try to deal with it themselves. This is a recipe for failure.
As I'm finding out, your friends will help you cope and deal with the problems and for you to ask for help when it's needed.

And how long did it take you to learn to accept help? |

After I was diagnosed with MS. About a year and a half ago. Asking for help was my problem. Had to play the man card and do it myself.

It can manifest in many different ways and be motivated by ego, fear, pride, or simply a learned response. I think there is a certain amount of maturity that comes with doing for ourselves, but ther is a point where we all need help. I suppose it's also a matter of maturity to be able to recognize when you've reached that point. |

That's a lesson I have to learn all over again every few years it seems. I've been a loner most of my life, so it's always hard for me to ask someone for help when I really need it.

At times all of us need help and encouragement. I have been thankful to Jeff/LugNutz in recent weeks for his words of encouragements and wisdom, even if he has not always recognized his own wisdom.
