Sometimes when I feel restless sharing with my friends helps. However, I do not that often. Lending an ear comes natural to me. But asking for emotional support does not. It feels as if I become a burden when I need help. Do any of you feel this way? How do you cope with this feelings?

I do! A lot of the time. I’m always there to help others but I can’t ask for help myself. At times it can be exhausting too. You can’t pour from an empty cup – remember that! Usually journalling helps me, as well as going for a walk myself to get a bit of breathing space. Taking a nap works too but if you can’t do that you can do meditation.
