I just wanted to reiterate what you and others said, that the supporters are people who aren't trained, who are often struggling just as much as the rest of us, are volunteers and work really hard to try and help. But as others said, they can't replace more professional support and maybe could be thought of, in part, as a sounding board. Maybe also consider that it might be hurtful for the people who have supported you to read this on the public forums.
You sound like you have the same personality type as me, I understand the blessings and difficulties that comes with. Maybe try posting on different boards around the forums and see if you find a place, or people, that you fit better with.
My thoughts are with you.
