now I feel bad - I saw that last night and didn't respond - too shy or didn't feel "in the network" I guess. Next time, I'll know.
More to your subject, I guess my housemate is the best thing I've got to be a support "network" - if I would use it. Funny, close proximity doesn't really make it any easier to "reach out" - at least for me. I'd almost rather reach out on a [more anonymous] forum post/IM/PM/email then walk into the other room and say "I'm sad/depressed/whatever and I want to go for donuts" - even so, I don't think I've ever done either one - reached out in person or in virtual-ity - too shy to admit the impending doom of failure I guess, even to people i've never met in person. ooof. It's not easy any way you slice it.
