so i have a few very supportive ppl in my life that make being a depressed anxious agoraphobic neet nearly tolerable, in the last year my partner specifically, and ive started to realize how often i say sorry when i mean thank you? like im so used to thinking of myself as a burden that when someone is there to help me unconditionally i just immediately go into "aah im imposing!!" mode, but lately ive been trying to say thank you instead and idk it sounds semantic but it's actually been making it a little easier to seek help from him. it also helps that he has the same problem and we both give each other shit for saying sorry too much.

idk how useful this is but idk it was worth trying for me so it might b helpful for u too!
