Do you have the support you need in life

Lounge
1

This is in general and not only regarding SZ

I feel I have all the support I need. I have financial support, acceptance from my Psychiatrists.
My father supports me to keep moving on. My father keeps me busy and shows me an good example. My mother gives me support to keep busy.

I am trying to find something inside myself to support me better. I have external support from people so much in my life. But internally I do not support myself so well.

I accept myself but I need to support myself internally more.

I have support from the VA with case managers and nurses. I don’t have support from my kids, they could care less about what’s happening to me. So I guess it’s only the VA.

I have a lot of trouble now that I’ve graduated from case management. With finding the resources and the common people to do common jobs for me.

I have support from my mom financially so I don’t really suffer as much in poverty. I get emo support from family and friends…I’m happy.

Mostly, yes. My employer has been excellent this past year and have given me a couple of accommodations I appreciate. My wife is pretty good, except for where her parents are concerned. My daughter is great. Things are okay.

I have a rather large support system, with a therapist, counselor and psychiatrist

My father and some other family members support me emotionally to an extent but just like you @anon40326163 I need to rely on myself some more

My parents are it

The MH team are not to be seen these days

At the moment my Nan is dying of cancer. It’s going to be a few days and probably not even that. She suffers from quite severe depression

We used to see each other a lot, and she would have been included if it was for this :pensive:

Just try and make the most of things

I just wish I had a significant other. I’m gonna die without one because it’s too much trouble and I’m used to being on my own. I’m trying to come to terms with that.

I have everything else I need, at least the basics.

I have never been in a relationship. I am so obsessed with myself. Having a significant other is not impossible for me. But I will come to terms with it also if that is my fate.
