Support

We alone are responsible for ourselves. We need to educate ourselves.  Be open to change. Make back up plans for comfort and safety.  Perhaps most importantly one needs to have a support network. People on all levels in life today to reach out to at different times for different needs. No one is coming to you. They can't read your mind or know what you like or need.
First you have to have people  (fur babies count if they are your family member but don't start counting dog park dogs as your support).
My experience only leads to these suggestions...

Make a paper list that you keep handy.

Start with 30 people who are active presently in your life...from family to friends to acquaintances.

Place in order of closeness as far as in your heart.
Yes you can have a tie...lol

Next add their contact information  so you can reach out when you are in need. Phone numbers...email...social media..address...

This is just a start. If your list isn't 30 people then you may want to work at expanding what you have. I have some online only friends and I include them. I also add support groups I use local send online.

Last add emergency numbers in different colour at top. Police, fire, Emergency Medical Services, and mental health hotlines.

A support network on paper is required when in distress of any kind. Also shows you aren't alone...and maybe one would bring you pizza or ice cream. 😊
