Why am I scared of getting help?

From my personal experience, I was first scared of getting help because even though the situation I was in wasn't ideal, it was familiar. It was the situation I was used to all my life so anything different from it felt foreign and unknown to me. Getting help at first was a terrifying thought. I didn't know what was on the other side. I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I wasn't even sure if I could even be helped with my situation. But in the end, I'm glad I sought help after. Even though the healing journey might be full of ups and downs, I can definitely hope that it's better now than it was before.
