Is it in bad form to ask friends to send me a care package?

Post date: 2020-07-02 06:01:36

I am currently spiraling and unable to take care of myself. I also do not have a lot of money right now to buy groceries. My therapist has encouraged me before to never hesitate to ask help from friends. Would requesting that they send me a care package be in bad taste?

I am isolated (the building where I live does not allow visitors at this time). I can pick up deliveries at the lobby. I am running out of canned goods in my pantry, and there are days when I am unable to move and have no motivation to live, much more eat and shower. I want to get out of this rut. Was thinking if friends can help me out by sending me food—maybe it's a start to me getting back on my feet. But I keep thinking it's selfish to ask for help, or perhaps this kind of help.

I often send care packages to friends in the past when I think of them or when they are sad or unwell. But it's out of my own initiative, and they never ask for it. So for me to ask this time around—I'm not sure if it's right to do that. But I just really need help...this pandemic has been a really rough time.

Thank you.
