Well, i'm not alone in not having help and support or having received negative responses from people.
I have joined support groups which can be good but can't rely on them to help me manage my illness. And, in a support group you are likely to compare your circs to others, feel better or worse off than others-you dont always feel comfortable as well to express yourself and if others have help and support outside, and good life when you don't, that's difficult. People in support group have different perspectives and experiences that aren't going to match exactly what you've been through and they are all people who need some help and most of them already do have.
