My support system consists of the people that are a part of my mental health team and the wonderful people that I find here. The rest of the people don't get it. When I am depressed, I don't really want a physical support system anyway. At least reaching out to the people on PC allows me to do so while in the bed, tucked in my cocoon, hiding from the world as I fight to lift my hands to scroll the screen and read posts. I usually don't want anybody. Then I am depressed because I don't want to be around others. I cancel plans, then feel bad about canceling the plans. I get moths instead of butterflies. Not pretty. I get it.
