What Do You Do If Your Support System Suddenly Changes?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Either in the medical/mental health field, and/or family/friends along the way? How can the adjustment of any of this become easier to find others to continue to support in this journey, or do you have any other suggestions or recommendations?

My Psychiatrist suddenly it seemed aboutv3 yrs ago now webrt back to India, and those of uslet behind had to. Attempt to get another Dr referred, which is extremely difficult because of the shortage of Drs of any kind here in BC. My family Dr referred me to a Psychiatrist and my 1st appointment was today. It went very well.

For me when providers change and stuff--I get upset---but then I think that I just have to give them a chance to work with me and gradually--the more I see them the easier it gets and the more I trust them.

I'm an only child. (62years of age now.) Parents both gone for many years. I have some cousins who are scattered throughout the UK. Never see them. Too involved with their own lives.
My husband has a sister and nieces in Australia and cousins in Italy.

It's just the two of us and our rescue dog Ernie at home. He's so loving despite all he's been through. A great guard dog though.
Our previous dog, Timmy, a toy poodle, was gently helped to cross the Rainbow Bridge by our lovely vet in April this year. Timmy was 17 and a half years old. Still miss him. He was blind and deaf and was struggling to cope. He's at peace now.

None of my friends live near us either. Loneliness is the curse of 'modern life.' Sadly true for many people.

My family are physically there but aren't emotionally supportive at all. They do things (take me somewhere, look after my daughter, lend me money) but when i truly need them, when i need advice, someone to talk to, or someone to come with me to an appointment, i'm on my own. It's one of the reasons why i get so low as to be suicidal at times. I haven't found a replacement for them. I have no friends, only one friend that i met online, who lives nowhere near me. I do go to a womens group for women with autism but havent made rock solid friends so far.
