Map Your Personal Support Network
You are in a rough stretch and realise you are leaning on one person for everything, or not reaching out at all. This maps your support honestly across five kinds: emotional, practical, informational, companionship, and the rest, so you can see the gaps before they matter. Good for anyone in a hard period who is not sure who to ring.
