Support

There are different forms of support; be sure to ask for the one that really helps. Do you want permission to follow, or stop a course of action, or practical help with a task? Or someone to advocate for you - to be biased and vocal, on your side. Or keep you company, or witness you to help make something real? Or a sounding board, offering new perspectives to pull you out of a loop? Asking for what you need is specific, as are the people who could help you. Choose well and ask clearly, as otherwise frustration is likely.
