How do you ask for emotional support sa parents/friends/SO niyo without saying you need help?

Sa lahat ng pinagdadaanan at napagdaanan ko sa buhay I've never had the emotional support I needed. Kasalanan ko rin naman kasi, I like to act like I don't give a fuck about anything. I just laugh things off and say "okay lang yan". I power through things and hope that I don't get panic attacks in unsafe places. I was raped 6 yrs ago, never told a single soul about. I was diagnosed with bipolar II and panic disorder, never told a single soul about it.

I think I badly need emotional support rn. I can't handle the death of my stepsister, I'm not even coming home, I don't want to see her inside a coffin.

Gusto umiyak sa harap ng parents, friends, at SO ko. They are good people but I feel uncomfortable receiving people's sympathy.
