I have been there, anon. Getting help is not only hard, it's a blow to the ego. But everyone needs help sometimes, and even a "real person" is a stranger at first. Just get the stranger back on the phone and let it out. There's no expectations of what you're supposed to say, and you can cry to them just as easily as you can cry to yourself, right? You are already strong enough to admit when it's time to get help, and everything after that is surprisingly easy, I promise.
