It is OK to ask for help. Also it is OK to say no and not feel guilty if no is the truth. Be involved with people, family, friends or support groups.
Many communities have support groups that are free of charge.
Neck and shoulder, and foot massages are examples. Healing Touch techniques are relaxing. It is helpful to share your thoughts and feelings with a family member or friend who is willing to listen. Some also find speaking with a professional provides objective support and encouragement. Rest a day before you return to work.
