In dealing with your mental health issues, what is your greatest need? What do you need from others, from yourself, etc? What's a general need in your life right now?
^that.
in a nutshell. just to know that i wont be abandoned.
"They say time heals all wounds. I don't agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessons, but it is never gone." - Rose Kennedy
Respect.
Reassurance.
Connection and understanding.

Very. I thought I found some, then I didn't. Then my best friend, Beth, proved her excellence. She's always there for me, whether she understands what's going on or not, she really tries and it makes me feel so much better.
I need a pseudo parent that will look after me, someone who won't abandon me like everyone does. Someone who I really believe loves me and whom I can love back.

You'll be surprised to know how far you can go from the point where you thought it was the end.
i need to be left alone most of the time, to deal with my thoughts and feelings - if i'm feeling very upset i need space to process my thoughts otherwise i tend to get pretty manic
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you...
My best friend Alex. I don't know what I'd do without her. She's there when I need to talk or need a hug. But in general, when i'm really upset I just need someone to sit with me, hold my hand, or hug me. Simple as that.
understanding...but no one really can unless they have been here.
But i have love, friendship, support and safety in my hubby..and my friends I've made here.
Just now need a good doc....
