IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT YOU... OR IS IT?
You can let your loved one know that their drama is a huge burden for you - not by criticising them for what THEY are doing, but by making YOUR FEELINGS known.
Instead of saying
'You always make such drama about this and that'
you can say
'I understand you're going through hard times, and I'm so sorry. You know, it makes me feel sad/angry/frustrated, too. I experience this challenge, just as you do. But I also have other things in life - my work, my health, my friendships, money, that I want to make work out, and I want to make them work out togeher with you. And when you are unable to deal with your challenges by taking action, it affects my ability to deal with my life. But I don't have the power to make you take action to solve your problems. YOU are the only one who can find that power. We can help each other. Let's take a step forward together. It can be just as big as you can manage today. That's ok. The important thing is that we keep trying.' 1 reply

You may have been faced with this situation:
You live in two worlds. One of them with your friends and colleagues; the other between four walls. And the two worlds may be very different from each other. Someone you live with - your partner, child, parent, friend or relative - lives a different life, marked by depression, anxiety, OCD, neurodiversity or any kind of behaviour that burdens their daily life and their relationships. You love this person and are trying to support them. But sometimes it's fucking difficult. Yet somehow you persevere, hoping and waiting for a glimmer of hope to show up, trying to motivate your loved one, to give them affection and validation but also a (sometimes not so) gentle push.
Well, there are many ways to deal with situations like these. And at least as many ways to avoid dealing with them. It's ok. This is really hard; sometimes too hard for one person to tackle. And those of us who are the supporters often don't know where to turn. That's why this channel is here. Welcome! 0 reply
