Support is a definit! I'm having difficulty with that one recently. I use to have a whole "system" of friends and family who I could go to in times of trouble and crisis. Now that number has dwindled. Surprisingly the reasons have been because I did not lean on them, instead of leaning on them too much!

There's a quote I pulled off of someone's signature: "Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal." -Albert Camus. I really liked that, and although it's sad, it is also true. If you can, try and take it in a positive and motivating light: you are not the only one who has to do this! And it is also a validation that yes, you do have to put energy into being "normal".
