Try not to underestimate the strength of peer to peer contacts...

Having a great and positive support system is essential & beneficial for many reasons. Support can come from family, true friends, support groups, mental health professionals, and believe it or not, animals can be of support as well.  If you choose, the support can come from one, more than one, or all of the above.  Anything that will help with the emotions experienced such as: sadness, anger, anxiety, depression, or any other emotions, feelings, and thoughts experienced or experiencing.  Having a support system will assist in not only recovery but not becoming withdrawn and secluded.

There are support groups for almost anything that can be thought of.  An individual needs to find the one(s) he or she is most comfortable with.  The members of the group(s) might turn into friends and can offer new, insightful, and helpful information that the individual did not know about.  Information about the topic and information about other things,such as: employment and leisure time activities. These groups can be online, in person, or both.  Because they are going through or have gone through what you are going through, they know EXACTLY what is being experienced and understand completely...
