Ask. Go to somebody that you trust and feel comfortable with, and directly say to them, "I need help." There is no shame in admitting there is a problem, and it does not make you desperate to want to better your situation. Getting help is such a hard step to take, but it is so absolutely important, and it can truly save your life. Do not be ashamed to ask for help- it takes great strength to admit that there is a problem.

Speak to someone you're close to or come to 7Cups of Tea, there is always listeners here for you and the good thing is, is that they're non-judgmental so you can tell them anything without the listeners judging or mocking you.

This is a very difficult thing to not do as those who are willing to seek help are often genuinely desperate. There's no harm in seeming as you are, of course; it simply helps your case further and makes your issues seem more genuine. Depending upon the help you require, I would suggest you look for a professional who can deal with your issues and give you the help you require such as a doctor or a counsellor. They're there to help you and they're trained for these sorts of scenarios therefore you should be able to get the help you require. :)

I dont think you will ever be viewed as being desperate for someone to notice your situation. It takes a lot of energy to muster up the courage to even recognise you need help and to ask for it. The best way to go about seeking help is to simply just ask :)

Just put your hand up and say! You won't seem desperate if you know you need some help, you should never feel ashamed of it :)

You can tell your problems to some close friends, teachers at school , your parents... Someone you trust in, and you know that will help you.

its good to ask for help never feel like it is wrong because if you are feeling bad then you need to tell someone because it is never good to feel bad about your self

Just be as honest as you can. Tell them your thoughts and feelings and if they care about you, they won't think that you are just desperate for attention.
