Lost Support System
I lost my peer support system today. It's like 7 cups. 4 months ago I joined an online mental health peer support community in a foreign country. I didn't know it was for natives to that country only. People were actually worse off than me so I decided to council and support them.
So many people were begging for support which I offered them. As time went on I realized their were no Americans but I didn't think to hard about it because so many people needed mental health support and that took up all my time.
Then I told someone I was a American and got suspended from the website within minutes. Now all these people I was helping have little support to keep them going. Because I was banned i feel ashamed and grief stricken because now they will all think I abandoned them all.
I will be ok in time but I lost something valuable to me. It hurts.

I'm sorry you had to go through this 💜
And you are a good person, so you feel bad you can no longer support them and they won't know why.
But equally remember, you were there for so many people and that made a difference.
That impact cannot be taken away from you 💖
I helped so many people who were going through the worst times of their lives.
I helped people who were desperate and ready to completely give up
I shared my stories with people and got to here interesting tales.
I made alot of people's lives whole again.
The fact is I could tell by the different cultures that we had that I knew eventually it wouldn't work out.
Thank 😊 you @amanda84 for making me feel alot better. I needed to here what you wrote.
