Reaching out

In need of some support. My support system isn't very good right now, so I have been reaching out to online support groups and different online communities in attempts to find that support. I feel I could also help others with my own experiences and struggles making this experience a good one.

I would love to help be a support system for you! I know my problems might be smaller or not make much sense but I'm always a message away if someone needs to vent. 😊

Isn't it great when you have opportunities to both give and receive help. That's the key to real support.

You are perfect for here then, and you sound like pretty much everyone else here: you need support and you have a lot to offer others. This is a very engaged group of people who are always sincere, and compassionate. Glad you found us.😊

I feel the same way. I have someone that I can usually talk to but they have been unavailable due to life circumstances. Other people around me are just not that understanding or don’t get it, so I try to keep everything to myself and that does not turn out so well for me. I have just come across this place, but I like the idea of it a lot. Sometimes we just need to know there is someone out there, and I know I feel better when I’m able to help someone else out.

Hi Survivor, sorry to hear about the lack of support your curently experiencing..I too, have been reaching out online, this site and mostly FB...I have a multitude of mental illnesses, they usually come in a bundle, more than one, I struggle but reaching out helps and is essential otherwise we curl up in a fetal position and just wanna stay there, not healthy physically or mentally...try doing any search in the searchbar on facebook, you'll be surprised at what you can find, something hopefully pertinent to what your currently going through, if it appeals hit the join tab and wait for pending approval, usually not long at all...helping others, being happy for them despite our own dilemmas has been very healing for me, I use to struggle with this, ya know the old cliche, misery loves company, its a no win all around...changing my minsdset is really helping, I have never wanted to be associated with being jealous, its such a wasted emotion, and we are responsible for creating our own happiness, it nobodys fault if we're not....thanks for reaching out here Survivor, your name is very noble,let us know of your progress, and take solace in knowing you are NOT alone in this, there are many and we are here for you..find and keep the good ones around, but dispose of the bad ones, we don't need those, we all got enough on our plates...take care, thx for listening, hope it helps... 🙏

This is an awesome site ... you are never far from support. Feel free to articulate, anytime. We are all here for a reason. Sending caring thoughts and support to you.

I came here too to find support, because I don't feel I can open up to my circle. I hope to go to therapy soon.
