Hi Mermaid. It is good to see you posting here again. You have been through so much and hopefully you can now have some freedom to start to process it and gradually find your way forward. It is perfectly ok to be ‘needy’; you don’t need to worry about giving support to others at this point. Strange thing, though, is that you may well find that other people find encouragement by reading what you share honestly from your own heart and your own real experiences – and you will support people just by being true to yourself! Honest reflection speaks volumes to others and helps them know they are not alone, when things are painful in their lives. Your survival and your will to understand and recover can be inspiring. But, do feel free to concentrate on finding the best ways to look after YOU for now and furthering your recovery.
Best wishes,
Monique
