This worksheet audits available action without asking you to prove that suffering is deserved. Start with actual harm and constraints. Leave the action field blank if there is no safe, feasible move; support can itself be necessary.

A worked situation: An inaccessible housing form
Fictional example. A reader facing a difficult housing process needs an advocate to access a form. Asking for advocacy is an action, while calling that need an excuse would misdescribe the situation.
Fill the support field before the available-action field
Record what happened, what remains outside your control, and what help is needed. Only then identify an action you actually have authority and capacity to take. Leave the action uncertain if safety or missing information prevents a choice. The worksheet does not determine fault, measure victimhood, or establish that someone is refusing recovery.
