Who do people turn to for support?

I have recently been thinking alot about what I guess some people call "support systems". People often say how helpful they are, but I am not sure where to find them. What I mean is that while I would like support I don't know how to let people in to help me.

I feel that if I let people know what is really going on then they will forever think of me as weak, crazy, and undisiplined. In my mind I should be able to handle everything all by myself. If I go to other people for help then I am less of a person because I did not handle things myself.

Often I don't really need "help" but someone who will listen and kinda give me advice or suggestions. I rely a lot on my moms group. While I know they see me as a bit out there, I have been with them longer than I have ever maintained a friendship with anyone.

Right now just seems like a really hard time. I know it will pass and I will get through it. I guess I just wish I had the courage to really let people know how I felt and accept the help they offer me.
