Well that's it, the support I once recieved is finished

[Weaponsofmassdisstortion]

I am now officially on my own. Cast adrift once again. As of the first of March I am no longer a member of the support group that helped me get through the lockdown. No more in depth talks. No more long emails back and forth. No more going to art group. I wish I had a time machine. I wish I could go back to about 8 years ago; When I was holding down four crappy jobs. When I was part of another support group. When I had friends who had mental health problems like me. Before the NDIS came along ruined everything.

I was living in a crappy share house. I was hated by a large group of people because of vicious rumours. I was broke. I was always tired. But I didn't care. I felt as if I was where I belonged. That was a high point of my life. Back then I was almost happy.

Dear Weaponsofmassdisstortion,

I'm sorry things haven't been going well for you. Support groups are so important to keeping one's mental health in check.

I'm sorry I can't give specific advice as I don't know the exact circumstances behind this loss. I wonder if you're open and ready to find another support group? It's not the same as losing the group you're familiar with, that you felt like you belonged with, but it may help you find your feet again.

Kindly,
M
