What to do when your crutch is gone

I am curious to know everyone’s opinion. When you have problems with work, or with school, there’s always someone/something there that makes it bearable or helps you calm down. What do you do when that person or things is the problem or is gone?

Now I am not going into specifics, but some things in my life have drastically changed. The one thing that I used to count on is gone, and I am left with these things by myself. I do not know when it will be replaced, or if it will comeback, but as of right now I am lost.

It seems that when things happen, they happen all at once. Even though it may be spread out over several months or perhaps throughout a year, it seems to just clump together and build on one another. I don’t know if I need something to occupy my mind, but what I’ve been used to has changed and my thoughts are racing away with stability.

If you’ve had this problem, or even better, have a solution, please feel free to let me know. I hope your world stays neatly intact or atleast your crutch is there to help you deal with things.

    If I have the slightest notion as to the circumstances and variables in which you speak, I understand. There isn’t an easy approach to replacing the crutch in which you frequently mentioned, however, I can say that friends help alot.

    I lean to the ears of my friends to listen to my troubles and if nothing else, venting seems to be a temporary remedy, yet I lack a solution as well. Things in my life seem to tumble as well, and when the stick falls, the mountain come pouring behind.

    All I can say is, whatever it may be you’re going through, you know you have specific individuals who are nearby, and ones who will listen. I may be weak in the knees, but I do have some metal crutches of my own :)

    I usually just drink heavily and pass out.

    kidding.

    Nick, I know how you feel man, crap does seem to pile up on you suddenly… and it sucks. I know what crutch(es) you speak of and you have to understand you can always turn to your friends. We too will listen to you bitch/vent about things that upset you. We won’t ignore or judge you man. You know how to get in touch.

    And we’ll definitely fix your car soon… I’ve been slacking majorly… mine is screwed now too.

    I am talking about a person/something you rely(lean) on when you have a problem. Not necessarily saying I’m disabled or unable to perform without it, it just aids in whatever I’m trying to do. Something used to make your life easier or more comfortable.
