Help for the helpless
seems hopeless
when trying to do it alone
Try calling a friend on the phone
Tell the friend about your fears
even is all you do
is well up with tears
Really listen
ears wide open
and then the truth
will
set yourself
free
I am going through a hard time. I am going to call my sister and talk to her. A person I have been trying to help is causing my family heartache. I am afraid to do the wrong thing. I have a big heart, and I always blame myself for things that go wrong. If you believe in prayer please pray for my family.
ears wide open and really listen
it is like a marble game, the one where you have to get the marble through a maze. To listen, to hear to really connect is very difficult but when we succeed – changes everything!
Well, bro, I have listened to this person wholeheartedly but now his actions have hurt someone I love. I am scared to do the wrong thing.
my rule is i always stand up for those I care about, period. I have no idea if that helps.
I care about the other person too. his disability is hurting someone dear to me.
well that is even harder I am so sorry. there are no easy button answers for that.
Unfortunately, I do not know your problems, but I still want you to overcome them as easily as possible.
Still trying to overcome severe turmoil. Hopeful days ahead I pray.
Will keep you in my thoughts. Sometimes that is all we need is just to vent our frustrations in order to move on. If you gotta do it more than once, do it. Removing the person causing the heartache is beneficial, too. Its one thing I always look at when I feel regret on distancing myself from someone. Your mental health is always number one.
Thank you Thomas, if it wasn’t for him being involved with a family member I would be able to do it.
I hope things get better for you my friend. Message any time you need to talk.
Thank you dear Carol. I feel overwhelmed most of the time. Thank you for your kind offer.
Take some deep breaths and know there are things you cannot control. Hugs to you.
This person is better today but he doesn’t understand why he can’t come over more. A counselor once told me to set boundaries and I have been doing that. Just taking one day at a time. Thank you dear friend.
Never blame or condemn yourself. You cannot control what others say to you or what they do to you. If that person is being crass to you, then that person really does not want your help. Sometimes, it is best to love a person from afar so that the heart remains clear of hating that person
Thank you, but since this person is involved with a loved one of mine loving from a far doesn’t always work.
