It depends also on what kind of help you are asking for. I have found that when I ask -can you drive me to ECT and back -- no problem. When I just call and say I am falling apart, I want to kill myself, the response is - do you want me to drive you to the ER. Asking for help for severe mental illness (help me, I am falling apart) can confuse people. They want to help, but don't know how and are likely to ask if you can call a doctor, go to a hospital, etc.
Asking for specific things - can you drive me somewhere, meet me for lunch, feed my cats - makes people happy to help.
