Finding Emotional Support through Support Groups | Solh Wellness

Almost everyone needs social and emotional support since it helps us cope with the difficulties of life. Unexpectedly, receiving solid assistance may boost our sense of independence and self-worth, enhancing our ability to deal with challenges on our own. We can solve our problems with the assistance of loved ones who believe in our potential and encourage us.

No matter how large or small our social network is, the advantages of social support might still be significant. These connections may arise from coworkers, neighbours, or friends from different religious backgrounds.

Only a small portion of people are inherently social, and significant life upheavals can lead to the breakdown of connections. To receive social and emotional support, it is possible to make new friends and create a strong network of allies.

We shouldn't put off developing strong relationships with other people because, as was already mentioned, social and emotional support is crucial for our general development. 

The following are the advantages of joining a support group and reasons why it's crucial for your general well-being:

Realizing you're not alone: The ability to recognise that you are not alone In a support group, you'll meet people who are experiencing similar experiences to you. Knowing that you're not the only one going through these problems might be a consolation. Once you learn that other people can relate to what you're going through, you'll feel relieved and connected.

Expressing yourself freely: In a secure and judgment-free environment, you can freely express yourself in support groups by sharing your ideas, feelings, and experiences. It can be calming and therapeutic to be able to express oneself without worrying about being criticised or misunderstood. People in the group will validate your feelings and experiences if they listen to you with empathy and support.

Learning helpful information: acquiring relevant informationSupport groups are great places to get real-world advice, tools, and coping mechanisms. Members frequently exchange strategies that have helped them resolve problems that are comparable to their own. You might gain new knowledge and skills through this information exchange that will help you handle challenging circumstances and better manage your mental health.

Improving social skills: Support groups provide a secure setting to practise social interactions for those whose mental illness or addiction has made them withdraw from social situations. Taking part in a group activity promotes a sense of belonging and aids in the development of social abilities and interactional self-assurance.

Gaining hope for the future:  Observing the development and inspiring transformations in other group members who are further along their path to recovery can inspire you to believe in your own capacity to heal and go forward. You are given new hope for a better future by the positive role models in the group who demonstrate that recovery is achievable.

Reducing distress:  As you actively engage in the group and work through your problems, you may notice a decrease in general aching and discomfort. Sharing your issues with others and getting help from them might help you feel less alone and more in general.

Increasing self-understanding: Support groups provide opportunity for self-reflection and exploration. You can more clearly comprehend who you are and what you need by improving your coping mechanisms and becoming aware of the elements impacting your problems.

Helping others and feeling good:  As you go forward in your recovery, you can encourage and support group members who are going through similar struggles. Helping others can make you feel good about yourself and give your life meaning and fulfilment.

Accessibility and affordability: Compared to individual therapy sessions, support groups are often more widely available and more affordable. Because of the group's accessibility, more people may make use of its resources and help.

Conclusion

Support groups for people with mental health issues provide several advantages. They provide a safe environment where you may interact with others who have similar interests and experiences. These organisations also offer helpful advice and coping mechanisms to aid you in successfully conquering your challenges.

The importance of support groups in boosting wellness is recognised by Solh Wellness. We provide a range of no-cost, targeted groups for different mental health issues via our Solh app. By connecting with people who have gone through similar experiences in these forums, you can create a network of people who can support and inspire you. Join our group as soon as possible to get the help you require to attain mental wellness.

quick note - this blog is gonna be sparse again for at least this week. trying new medications and tbh initial side effects are not super pleasant + actual effects build up. as a result: currently as if unmedicated for mental health, with anxiety+ side effect, extra fatigue, dizziness, and fatigue. it's uh, sure something.

totally recognize that most of y'all know we're absent at times due to health things, just wanted to give a heads up that this one is at least anticipated.

PLEASE can we please pretty please stop acting like not getting help is a choice and a moral failure, and also like people with unfavorable mental illness/pd symptoms like anger problems, s/h, sui thoughts, eating disorders, persecutor alters, severe depression, are just Edgy and dont deserve compassion until they get help. please, im literally begging. like why do the people whove been through so much in our society get treated the worst.

My mother on the phone: "you're a stupid girl who doesn't know anything and anyway you hate me and want to see me fall, you're a bad daughter"

My mother in a text message 5 minutes after hanging up: "hi, do you remember Porto? Well Chefchaouen is exactly as pretty, you'll love it! Love you my beautiful darling girl, you're the prettiest!"

... No, seriously, my mother scares me.

Every conversation with her for the past two years have been a minefield. One wrong word and she turns into a toxic pit, or she could be the sweetest most supportive person. No in between. It's exhausting.

yk what would be nice? an everything-safe reality checking support group of only like schizos/dissociators/people who struggle w reality in some way. including like anxious/paranoid types or people who habitually misread others actions. yk? no judgement, no banned topics, the only rule being respect everyone there and stuff. and we can like talk about it and sympathize/empathize and kinda be like "hey i understand but that is ridiculous. in reality its probably more like [blank]." where like me for example im not very socially anxious so for someone w social anxiety i could be like "your feelings are valid but i promise not everyone in the world is staring at you/judging you. like here we are looking at you but only to give you space to speak and pay attention. but in general people are more busy with their own issues than random strangers." and someone without an issue of mine could be like, "hey that's not real." yk? like just a nice cozy group to hang out and do calm activities in a safe judgement-free place while also talking ab whats on ur mind and getting a reality check if u need one.

I'd like to talk about Alternatives to Suicide (Alt2Su), a support group that's run by folks who have lived experience of suicidal ideation, attempts, etc. It takes a very non-coercive approach, so you can talk about what's been going on with you without fear of being involuntarily hospitalized or judged or treated like you're subhuman.

IMO, as someone who has been struggling with suicidal ideation in some form or another for most of my life, this is an ACTUALLY preventative approach. It meets people where they are and uses non-clinical language. People need the ability to engage with support on their own terms and in their own way. I haven't had the chance to go to a group but god do I want to at some point!

I have a database of US Alt2Su groups here on Reddit: (Curently there's only 8 states, but it seems to be growing!)

If you're interested in training to be a faciliator...

There's a training in Indiana in late February if anyone's interested. It's like 20 bucks.

Wildflower Alliance also has a facilitator training in MA coming up. Their training offers sliding scale rates from $150-350 depending on income/needs.

Unfortunately, I can't find any online or free trainings coming up at the moment, but feel free to add onto this post if you know of any!

Here's a document with more information about Alt2Su for anyone who's interested. 💚

Shoutout to bitches who have never had a milestone birthday party (16th, 18th, 21st) because no-one fucking liked them so there was no point hosting one because no-one would come

Another year another ~the bakers are the vibes~ season of Bake Off.

The warm cozy element comes from them and them alone because of course nothing else has changed.

There is a better mix of bakers this year I think. Wish there could be more older bakers, but the ones we do have -- I wholeheartedly adore. There is a lack of pretentiousness that absolutely comes through the screen and is a joy to watch. Everyone is so down to earth and friendly. No one came into the tent with an agenda and is simply baking because they love to bake.

I love the swap from Matt Lucas to Allison because, not only does she have better chemistry with Noel, but she puts the bakers at ease more than Matt ever did. Nothing compared to the goddesses that were Mel and Sue but at least one step closer.

I also love the inclusivity that came with adding Tasha to the lineup and Daryl, the BSL translator. They introduced him so nonchalantly, gave him such a warm welcome, and he immediately slipped right into the flow of bake off. It is also great that a version of bake off specifically with BSL translations is now being aired.

However, I do wonder if Paul and Prue themselves forget to adapt for Tasha. They sometimes talk incredibly fast with practically no pauses and using phrases and idioms that must be so bizarre to translate. Yet they still expect Tasha to respond immediately as if she wasn't deaf, not comprehending that she learns their feedback through another person who is having to catch up on their lightning fast infodump and so a response delay is inevitable. I think they thought that just having Daryl there was accomodating enough, but they are making his job unnecessarily difficult.

All in all, I am still tuning in to this season of Bake Off and am rooting for everyone. It still is my cozy comfort show and I am thankful for that!

I love how I actually have no one to talk to about anything that bothers me anymore. I have never felt so trapped in my life.

My best friend wouldn’t understand and I don’t want to bother her.

Then my other close friend I can’t say shit to her either.

No one understands how I feel, and I can’t talk to them.

I’m just so tired of being trapped in my own mind.

So if anyone needs to actually talk about anything I am here, I wouldn’t dump on you but hearing about other people’s problems let’s me forget about my own. Or, maybe just some friends to talk to?

in other news, the atmosphere around life has just been really odd and uneasy, it's really weird

work is just a hot mess cause management sucks and my senior is Not Happy at all in both personal life and work life so seeing her so down all the time worries me and stuff and she's this close to leaving, which would not be good for me i do not want that. I also want to ask for a raise but idk how to lol

home is.... well idk i think that's the biggest thing rn, grandpa's getting real old and he's beginning to get.... a little loopy. apparently to him theres this old friend/acquaintance/family friend of his that keeps telling him things in his mind or in his dream of some sort and he's doing all this weird (but luckily relatively harmless) stuff and it Worries me A Lot. Mom is also out of the country rn on a month long trip so it's just me and my dad holding down the fort, (along with my brother but he doesnt do jack shit), and when dad's at work, it's just me my bro and grandpa at home and I'm worried af cause I'm the one that has to be responsible for anything that happens, and man its just sad to see grandpa like this and i know its inevitable cause of old age, but damn.

personal life is well, very busy rn cause im stressing over trying to finish the VN on time but theres still so much left to do. Me being really busy is helping me (or it could be harming me?) ignore all my current personal problems but since the bulk of the VN is done and things are slowing down (not really but defs less intense than pumping out 5 art pieces in 12 days), I'm beginning to regain the conscience of thinking about things again (aka sad thots) which suck, and I think the work and home environment is not making it any better at all :\

it just feels very weird and uneasy rn and i don't really know what's going on and idk what to do;;;
