You may be strong, hardy and fiercely independent.

But sometimes, things go south and you seem to be losing it.

When times get tough, it’s good to know that you can reach out to others.

Those four lads were right: try with a little from your friends and you’ll get by or even get high.

A recent Canadian Social Survey shows what it’s like down here.

Results show that three-quarters or 75 percent of people aged 15 and older said that they “always or often have someone to depend on to help them when they really need it”.

That’s from a Statistics Canada release Tuesday (August 9).

The survey was conducted from January to March 2022.

The poll also shows that 17 percent said that they “sometimes have someone to count on”.

Meanwhile, seven percent said that “rarely or never do”.

“Moreover, people living in rural regions (78%) were slightly more likely to say they always or often have someone to count on than people living in urban areas (75%),” Statistics Canada reported.

Having someone to count on is good in a lot of ways.

“Canadians who have someone to count on report better health and personal well-being outcomes, including their sense of belonging to a local community, life satisfaction, sense of meaning and purpose, perceived health, and perceived mental health,” Statistics Canada reported.

In particular, 53 percent of people who say they always or often have someone to count on were “much more likely to report a very strong or somewhat strong sense of belonging to their local community”.

Also, of the respondents who said they always or often have someone to count on, “roughly 6 in 10 reported high life satisfaction (58%) and a strong sense of meaning and purpose (65%)”.

As well, more than half of those who said they always or often have someone to count on reported that they have “excellent or very good health (59%) and excellent or very good mental health (53%)”.
