This support page can be found on Facebook and ran by an amazing group of admins.
”It is hard for family and friends to understand what you are going through but others suffering do know. This is also a good page to add your close friends and family so they can try to understand what you are going through. Feel free to say anything as it is only the members of this page who can see the posts.”
