Btw, I don’t feel like any one else that says they need support is not doing enough. It’s just the tough voice in my head that’s always told me I’m not doing good enough

I know that voice. It's punching me in th ebrain right now. Much support. Reaching out is what is good and healthy to do when you've got a need for spuport.

Thank you Leo, sorry you have that voice too

You are strong for reaching out for support,lilmissy.

Holding on to Hope for you.

You strengthen us all when you use those three little words, "I need support." No matter how often I hear them in cop and war dramas, I still feel guilty and inadequate when I use them myself.

Hearing you say them gives me a little more confidence and courage. Thank you.

We all need support. You’re just like us and we are here for you.

Gentle hug and a blessing.... I'm sorry that you're struggling.....xo

It's ok to ask for support like you do, lilmiss, especially for you because you give so much support, too, to others every time you can. Sorry you're struggling, but we're here for you in support each and every time, my friend. We've got your back while you fight the good fight.

You are normal needing support, we all need it for sure. World would be very lonely and boring if we could do everything ourselves. Don't apologise for the sad posts, you can't control how you feel, emotions just happen and they are not logical. Big support to you

Thank you so much for the support & kindness
Hugs <3

hang in there Missy. glad you've got friends here to help you make it through.

Hi lilmissy7, don't apologize for asking for help and needing support. Actually that shows a lot of wisdom on your part.. Some people think they have to be strong and tough and never admit they need help or ask for it.

I heard "The first step on the road to recovery is to admit you have a problem". If you go through life acting tough and independent and not admitting you need help, you can't recover.

Do you like to read? I have always loved reading, so I'm constantly on the lookout for good self help books. Take Your Life Back by David Stoop is a really good one.

Don't get discouraged, recovery takes time. Just keep making good decisions. Do you keep a journal? That helps me. Sometimes I think I'm not making any progress, but when I go back and see where I was a year ago or 5 years ago, I get excited and it motivates me to keep going.

You have to continue to reach out for the support and assistance that you need and deserve. Have you talked to a professional, counselor, therapist or psychologist about how you are feeling. I know that writing in a journal and doing various types of art and meditation has help millions of people with their loneliness. You have admitted that there is problem that you need address that is good sign. You know that something is not right and you are talking about and asking for some help. This is a good forum to express how you feel, so keeping on posting on this site and any other one that you may use. Start writing in that journal believe it can work wonders.
