I am only beginning to come into my own again, where my support system is concerned.
The old system, meant that I had to endure a multitude of opinions about what matters or mattered (to my support people, rather than me), as the case was.
But, I can’t even begin to think of the old, old support system.
That was pretty much non-existent!
So, I think…
How would any of us get along without a support system intact?
I know, I didn’t. Not at all…
I just plain had breakdowns. And, they were awful!
So, always, always have yourself a support system… and, if it falls apart (like mine has these past several months), do your best to hold on!
The pieces may be coming together in a way that will only “help” you that much more!
Here is a link to the ways in which a support system helps.
With Love,

I think it can help to have different types of support from different source, so if one crashes and burns there are still others left to pick up the slack.

I can’t imagine how bad the old-old systems were Mio. We (well, some of us nurses) used to support our patients in setting up fail-safe support systems, in a way that they felt comfortable and safe. We’d continue to update these every four weeks to make sure they work working.
I use all these resources for myself now lol.

Smart. On all fronts. I don’t think I ever recovered Under The old-old support system or lack there of. But. Of course, I am managing things now, so that’s got to count for something! 🙂

We all need safe and robust support networks ❤ My old-old support system wasn't supportive at all… and I am so glad the community here is good and I have a small in-person support system now. ❤

Absolutely! My old support system was shit too! Chalked full of toxicity. So glad to have them out of my life!
