OFFS... Let's all chant. Better yet?
I've got a decent support network, but it's surprising how little help you really need if you are used to looking after yourself. I have no idea how folk with small children or other dependents manage; my son was 13 when I had my first episode ten years ago. We coped.
It's easier to sort it out on your own than start relying on people who, for what ever reason, will let you down. The other thing that does often happen is people you don't know well quietly step up and become valuable parts of your new life.
BTW. If you want to tag someone, it looks like this @viking1. Marg
