mental health exercise, follow along, questions @ u
> I was in a psych ed group recently and they had a class about social support. There was a short perceived social support questionnaire that listed categories like: "Acceptance" "Encouragement" "Companionship" "Partner for activities" "New Ideas" "Help with tasks" "Guidance" and stuff like that. Then a space to name the person in your life who you go to for each, and a space to note if you're satisfied in that category or need more support, etc.
make a little table, fill it out, maybe try to not go over like 70 characters per list . i did it on the computer.
it's interesting, many gaps - are they gaps you want to fill? can you find new creatures to fill some of your gaps? are you reliant on just a few people? are you looking forward to seeing how new friends will behave?
