If you were sick would you let others help?

when i am sick, i try to get on by myself on my own. for as long as i feel like i can carry on, i won't ask for help for as long as i can. usually, i don't really need anyone to call out for help. but there was this one time when i had this mild heart attack since i was too stressed from work that day. i have ischemia, a kind of heart disease. and that day, my whole body just froze and i could not move. i had a hard time breathing, too. so, i dialled a friend's number who work in the hospital, too and managed to put her on a loudspeaker, told her to help me since it was the first time i got so scared in my life. that time, i live on my own, working in another city away from home. and i am glad my friend did arrive a few minutes after. she saw me in pain and helped me out, rushed me to the hospital. when i felt okey, we laughed about it. she told me how ugly i looked like when really not being able to move. and i pictured myself and laughed a lot. hehe. happy myLotting!

Personally, I really dont like the idea of bothering other people. As much as I can, I avoid being such a burden. But I also have my limits. If there is really nothing I can do, like if I am sick, I will definitely ask for the help of my family and friends. Maybe your friend is just like me too, who handles things on her own as long as she can. But I am sure in case she caan't do it anymore by herself, she'll ask for your help too. And sometimes, when your sick, you tend to self-pity and dont want anybody's help. Just try to understand her situation. Do whatever you can to help her in any way possible. Extend my prayers to your friend and I hope she get well soon.

I would and would be so happy to have the help if someone can help us when I was sick,but I feel uncomfortable asking others to come help if I am sick unless it is one of my children or husband that live in the household with me . I feel that it is my household and feel that I should be able to do it on my own and would feel that I was expecting to much of someone to drop everything to come help me . I guess it is weird when you think of it because I would gladly go help out a friend that was looking for some help but somehow feel inadequate when it comes to me needing help from someone else, But people were so into themselves and nobody else, meaning, most there were not friendly or helpful. , So when I got sick and still can walk I went to the hospital cause it is near from my house.

asking for help is a very difficult thing for me. I do not know if it is because of pride (lack of humility) or if it is because I do not want others to be put out. I think it is the latter. A lot of people will say, "call me if you need anything" but I am not sure they always mean it. and it is so awkward to make that call. I try to offer my friends a specific service when they are in need - rather than the ambiguous "call me if you need anything" so I am more likely to call them and say "Hey, I am going to town, what do you need me to pick up for you?" or "Listen, I just got done steaming my carpets, and I am in a roaring mood to keep going, can I come over and do yours too?" "I made some extra casserole tonight, I am going to pop on over and you can put it in the freezer for later if you already have meal plans" "I am taking the kids to the park for the afternoon, would yours like to come along"? etc.

Maybe!But there isn't anyboby who I call for help!

Of course I would call help, but sometime when I'm sick I'll be confused and I can make mistakes, Although I like to call help, I found it difficult to call help especially If you want people see you sick, I don't like people see me sick so I say may be I'll be alright next day, and later I discover I really need help, So I just call my best friend and let him know about me, and he would help me without any lecturing.

Of course! When I am really sick though not like just oh I feel icky sick. I am a big girl and I try to take care of myself. When I had the stomach flu last year in April I didnt run to my mom, I dyed on the couch. But when I get really sick like shakey, achy, fever, I totally dont ask but will welcome any help. Extra blankets for example. I was sick in January and I was so fever like my sister gave me extra blankets. I do welcome stuff like that for sure!

No, I don't feel comfortable asking for help from anyone even family. It would also depend on how sick I was and if it meant finding someone to take care of my hubby and son while I was stuck in hospital for a while, then yes, I would probably ask family members to help out.

I usually do not call for help. But if I notice the need to do so, I will call for help.

I love it when people help me when i'm sick, its very nice. I think its very sweet for someone to help you when you are in need, its just something good to have a friend you can depend on.

i would definitely call for help but i call someone very close to me.

It is really hard for me to ask someone for help, I am not sure why? When I am sick I want to be left alone and just crawl in a bed and not be bothered. But I do not have children now that is different I would want them cared for and my pets I could call my mom or my brothers but only if I were desperate. I on the other hand get mad at my mom for not asking for my help when she needs it so this is a little strange. I think my problem comes from an uncle I had, I just thought of him as I was writing this he thought the whole world owed him something and wanted everyone to wait on him hand and foot and I swore when I grew up I would never be like him. That could be why I am this way?? And my mom is the same way.

i dont want to let other help me,when i was a student.but now ,i hope my boyfriend help me .if i were ill,he didnt help me i would think he didn't love me .i will not let my friend help me ,because they have their own life.

Well it has always been hard for me to ask others for help. I don't know why. I don't mind helping others if I can. I do let my hubby and kids help though. They probably wish I wouldn't LOL! Don't take offense. If she really gets in a jam she'll have to ask for help.

if i sick i'll will need others to help me...it emergency guys....

I recently had to ask my friend to do me a favor when my husband was in the hospial. I hated to ask! I have done so much for this friend but I still felt horrible asking her to go to my house (she has a key) and grab our cell phone charger and bring it to the hospital. I don't know why I felt so bad asking. My other friend I didn't even ask her for anything but she insisted tha she would bring me some food to eat. I am glad that I have these two friends to help me out. They are blessings!

Yes.It would help me feel better with others' care.Then i'll recover more quickly.

If i was really sick then yes I would let others help me. Some people just don't like asking for help but if I really am sick and don't feel good then I ask.
