To me support for mental health issues means that both the writer and reader can mutually benefit from sharing in a public space online intended for both to feel more understood than misunderstood. Recently while reflecting on arguments on a one on one basis I’ve noticed for there to be some kind of resentment expressed toward me in the event I am going through something difficult and need to be alone or take space. I’ve been reading a book on codependency familiarizing myself with the kinds of unhealthy relationships that can form between people. I would never think that supporting one another could turn into an unhealthy attachment style or fuel a resentment but I’m trying to branch out and figure out in what ways have I ever failed as a blogger now especially with a drop in numbers take seriously what’s transpired over the past week or so upon relapse. (I didn’t sleep stayed up and didn’t take night meds for two days).

I think blogging is a very high pressure job constantly challenging myself to keep to a standard and recently upon relapse changed and I don’t think it helped to write on meds or overdo meds to write. It’s important that no matter what I’m going through or who’s fighting me I don’t take more pills as a coping mechanism for not feeling good. There’s no rush in more it will feel like you have a lot to get done but sometimes more writing isn’t better and isn’t the solution to overcoming any sickness or interpretation of insult. We don’t ask for support in life it’s someone’s choice to know or support you. I’m assuming support is like a doctor supporting me except non doctors view a decline in health or personal struggle personal after all it’s our health that we’ve invested time energy and focus on improving it’s not for anyone to judge us as sick for disclosing or take their anger out on us should we not want to be bothered.
