Losing my support network during lockdown.

Due to lockdown I have lost my usual support network for my eating disorder and other mental health issues. I am really struggling and I tried speaking to a listener, but all they could say was just wait until lockdown is over and be patient.

Is anyone else struggling during lockdown?

I'm sorry you got that sort of response from a listener. You could try other listeners.

7cups is a great place to get such support. I've found it very useful too.

My support network has crumbled too. I've been using 7cups on and off over the past 8 months or so.

I hope you find the support you need here. I'm sure you will eventually.

Just keep reaching out and talking. It's very brave of you and you'll have a breakthrough with a connection that will be supportive soon enough, I'm sure.

Totally afree with SilverbackTiger. Please feel free to contact me anytime to be listened, and surely (actually I know that positively) there are many listeners ready to help you other than me. Just use the browsing filters and check for "ED" experienced listeners.
