Episode 26: Support Systems that Actually Support You

What if the people who are supposed to support you…don’t actually make things easier? In this episode of Sick of Pricks, we’re getting honest about support systems. The good, the frustrating, and the ones that quietly drain your energy while calling themselves “help.” If you’ve ever been told you’re lucky to have support while still feeling completely alone, this episode is for you. We talk about: The difference between being surrounded by people and actually feeling supported When “help” turns into pressure, food policing, or emotional labor What real support feels like (and why it should feel safe, not stressful) Why support is not just people, but systems, boundaries, routines, and tools How to build a support system if you don’t have one yet Why motivation isn’t enough, and what actually helps you keep going Giving yourself permission to stop forcing unsupportive relationships Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that you are not ungrateful, broken, or expecting too much if your current support system isn’t working. You’re allowed to want better. And you’re allowed to build it differently.
