please help

To me, the idea of asking for help seems somewhat of a dichotomy. If I consciously want help, but my spirit or unconscious or higher self might not think it in my best interest, then that might be against free will.

To me it is simple. Ask for help as a default. If the higher- self does not allow it then fine. Use it as a catalyst. If the higher self allows it then you are golden.

It may not even be anything as sophisticated as the higher self denying help, or rather, the wholehearted asking for help; it can be something as shallow as a cultural imprint of "unworthiness". It runs pretty deep in Western culture, and many of us are a little slow in clearing out the baggage.
