Did you not have emotionally supportive friends and do now?

Post Reply New Topic

I am doing well in life, and I am NOT doing well in life. Work and personal demands collided this week and I didn't have somebody to turn to. I have a spouse, BFF and some good friends, but mostly I am the emotional support for them, not vice versa. Even as a child and adolescent, I supported others emotionally, but I didn't receive much emotional support. Anyone relate? Did you change or accept this? I do use my resources: therapists, support groups, and when I had my breakdown yesterday, I called a mental health line... but I'm sad I don't have a person to turn to. Maybe I need to get out more and look specifically for a person more like me this way and not attract another "opposite". Thoughts?
