Please Help Me Today
The specific request, prepared in advance, that turns 'I need help' into something a helper can act on without a conversation.
A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.
A fill-in-later request card for the worst days — so asking costs pointing, not composing. Written on a better day, used on the worst one.
What is needed today
From whom, in what form
Written in advance — the helper reads this so you don't have to explain.
Who
e.g. Anna, or whoever's closest
The form
e.g. Leave it at the door — no visit, no chat today
The extras helpers should know
- One word or a thumbs-up is a full conversation today
- No questions until it passes — the note says enough
- The house terms: quiet, low light, no hosting
A pre-written message asking for help is not weaker than a fresh one. It's the same message, prepared earlier — by the version of you who could see today clearly.
