Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

Who comprises your support system? My support system is comprised of my roommate De, my brother in Colorado (I can call him and talk about anything), the Baha'i community of Las Vegas, people on writing.com, and Baha'u'llah (who I can talk to mentally anytime I want to).

How effective is your support system? The effectiveness ranges from good to great.

Do you even have a support system? The support system I have at present is wonderful. Sometimes I wish my mother was still alive to be part of the support system on this side of death's door. She died in 2012, so she is part of my support system in the spiritual world. Sometimes I talk to her, and dream about her.

Have you ever been to a support group of any sort? I was part of a mourning support group after Mom died. There were a lot of good people in it; it was adequate.

Are the members of WDC part of your support system? Yes, there are several members on writing.com I consider part of my support system.

Can online support systems even be useful? Yes. It helps to have someone online that I can chat with, or who reads my blog entries.

How has your support system changed throughout the years? Yes. It changed when my mother dies, because I had to find emotional support outside my family.

If you could change something about your support system, what would you change? Right now, I'm happy with my support system the way it is. That could change in the future, and if it does I'll deal with it.
