Have you gained support?
Has anyone on this forum felt like they had no support system for a long period of time but then developed one through time? I would love to hear a success story

Me, me, me! Twelve months ago I ended up on this site trying to cope with a personal crisis completely alone. I've never been one to talk about feelings, never expected to experience any mental health problems, but here I was, falling apart. It took four months of talking on here with some amazing listeners, and seeing a counsellor, before I finally told anyone in my personal life what was going on. And the relief to have people I could talk to, however difficult that was, is indescribable.
It's not easy to open up, to ask for help, or to say 'I can't do this on my own', but it's the best thing I ever did. And actually, when you open up enough to address your own problems, you realise you're not alone, not at all. Many, many people can offer empathy and support, often because they've been there themselves. Please don't feel you have to be alone with your thoughts.
Hey there. I have been depending on the people here for support since i guess a year ago? I know if i was dealing with a short term problem/ difficulty in life i would be able to cope with my life after a few sessions with a listerner or 2 perhaps.
But for me that is not the case. All of my struggles and difficulties i am having now all stems from years of loneliness. What makes things worst for me is falling ill about 9 years ago. But the hard part is that i can only share that problem and what is causing the illness and my difficulty sleeping at night which has been going on for 6 months.
I have send 30pms for listeners from Malaysia. In short it's about black magic. I'm a victim sounds like a movie. I don't really care how people here are going to perceive my situation but i DESPERATELY need a Malay Listener from MALAYSIA to talk about this. I have sufferred for years, and things are still not looking up for me.
Sorry i now i'm being picky but trust me, mostlikely a malay listener would understand my situation. So far i got only 1 reply from the Malaysian listener and that was it.
Don't get me wroing but if my illness is a common normal health problem it would have made my life so much easier. I would have just openend a thread and explain everything there.
I really appreciate all those who have help me go through this very difficult time in my life. I hope somebody can get me a Malaysian listener. Thanks a lot in advance.
