You can be the one who struggles and the one who helps. Those aren’t opposite people.

There is a quiet assumption that help only flows downhill, from people who have it all sorted. In practice the person having a hard week is often the most useful one in the room, because they know what to say and what not to. Needing support does not disqualify you from offering it. The two sit in the same day without contradiction.

If you are struggling, pick one small thing you can do for somebody else this week and do it anyway, not as a distraction but because you can. And let yourself ask for something too. Keeping only one of those going is what tips over eventually.
