You are not the only one in such a predicament<\/strong>: we all have rough patches and difficult moments. Some of us are better at hiding it, but on the inside we’re all the same colour.<\/p>\n

Most of us, when in the throes of fate, feel we’re alone in our suffering. We may receive help and support from people who care for us, and we are grateful for that, but even this help-and-support come from someone who is not, right now, with us, in such a deep pain. More, we observe the world around us and see other enjoying things and feelings we so sorely lack.<\/p>\n

a) For many, it’s about the image they put out: the deep truth is different in the overwhelming majority of cases. People will put out their best image and pour mountains of effort into safeguarding the social image (isn’t that what “inner power” is all about? Showing “strength” while bleeding inside?); and we see that image. The soul behind it is way more in pain and frazzled.<\/p>\n

That realisation came to me during conversation with my spouse about some friends that seemed poised to do well; she casually said “The other day I heard her say the only thing she had left in common with her husband were the kids and the credits”.<\/p>\n

You might think<\/strong> you’re alone. You might even feel<\/strong> loneliness. It is only natural; it is usually patently untrue. Take a moment to look around you closely. We all have our troubles. You have companions in your plight \u2013 only you do not know them. You don’t have to, just know they are there.<\/p>\n

b) Preparation is everything: take care and assemble a<\/strong> Team You<\/strong>: people who know you, love you just the way you are and accept you with all your little quirks and peculiarities. Talk to them one by one or in a group setting.<\/p>\n

Be as direct and clear as you can: “Friend \/ mom \/ pop \/ sibling, I’m approaching (or already crossing) a very rough patch in my life. I need all the love and support I can muster. I need you to support me now and show me later where I’ve done wrong. Would you do that?<\/em>”<\/p>\n

This is not<\/strong> the time to be evasive and hope they’ll get it. Certainly, you’ll be in for some surprises. Many think “tough love” is the way (it is not, in many cases). But you’ll end up with a Team You ready to support you, ready to be your cheerleaders, a handy resource to have in dire times.<\/p>\n

Have them know you value and cherish their support and lean on them in troubled times. That way, you’ll know you never walk alone.<\/p>\n
