unhelped
Left to oneself
Unhelped means without assistance or aid.
Someone who struggles unhelped receives no support from others: She completed the project unhelped.
The word carries a note of either independence or neglect, depending on context—accomplishment despite lack of help, or abandonment when help was needed.
