Maybe you’re struggling with a mental disorder or can’t find a solution to a problem at work. In either case, reaching out to someone, anyone, for help is just one easy decision. Or is it?
Paris Prynkiewicz, podcast host and author of Crooked Illness: Lessons From Inside & Outside Hospital Walls, joins Java to discuss why asking for help can be so hard. She also shares her personal journey of being hospitalized, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and finally asking for help.
Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but an act of courage and growth. You have to be vulnerable to your own feelings and thoughts, and vulnerable enough to accept the help and support necessary to make real change in your life, which takes tremendous courage.
In this episode, we cover the reasons people struggle to ask for help, all the positive effects finally doing so can have on your life, the stigma around mental health, and more!
