It is okay to seek help when our thoughts become overwhelming from "summary" of Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen
When our thoughts spiral out of control, it can feel like we are drowning in a sea of negativity and fear. In those moments, it is easy to believe that we are alone in our struggles, that no one else could possibly understand the chaos inside our minds. We may even convince ourselves that seeking help is a sign of weakness, a shameful admission of our inability to handle things on our own. But the truth is far from that. In reality, reaching out for help is a courageous act of self-care. It takes strength and vulnerability to acknowledge when we are overwhelmed and in need of support. By sharing our struggles with someone we trust—a friend, a therapist, a mentor—we invite healing and hope into our lives. We open the door to a new perspective, one that offers clarity and compassion in place of confusion and self-condemnation. Seeking help does not mean that we are broken or beyond repair. It simply means that we are human, that we are capable of growth and change. It is a brave step towards healing and wholeness, a decision to confront our fears and doubts head-on. And in doing so, we give ourselves the gift of freedom—the freedom to let go of our burdens and embrace a brighter future. So, when your thoughts become overwhelming, remember that you are not alone. You are surrounded by people who care about you and want to help you navigate the storm. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for support. You deserve to experience peace and joy, and seeking help is a vital part of that journey. Embrace the power of community and connection, and watch as your mind begins to find rest and renewal.
