Choose a calm moment and use personal statements, such as 'I have been feeling overwhelmed and need support.'
Focus on practical needs first. Explain what support looks like: listening, helping with appointments, or reducing pressure at home.
If a family member is hesitant, share trusted educational materials and involve a respected community or health professional.
