My theragun wannabe is ready for the first really test!
I have a family member who is going through some serious mental issues. I am trying really hard to be patient and be there for them, but it's getting harder and harder every day. They have started therapy, but just 1 session so far, and another one will happen tomorrow, but I just don't know what to do. On the one hand, I want to be as kind and compassionate as possible, but on the other hand I fear I am just enabling them and their incredibly irrational thoughts. I hate seeing them like this, but I also don't know how much more I can take, which makes me feel like a horrible person too.
I understand what you’re saying about the feeling of being compassionate versus enabling. Sometimes it’s a fine line and it certainly isn’t easy, but you have to try and set your boundaries and stick to them. I hope everything works out for your family member!I have a family member who is going through some serious mental issues.

You are not a horrible person. A horrible person would have written them off the minute they were negatively impacting your life. A horrible person doesn't stress themselves to the limit trying to do the right thing by the loved one. Walking the line of love between enablement and "tough love" crutial conversations is a faint one and most of the time really hard to see when you are trying to straddle it. Deciding when to be on one side versus the other is one of the hardest decisions to make in life. Don't get down on yourself for the struggle. Everyone struggles with this one, even those who are trained and paid to deal with this in others. You are not alone. Depend on others as others depend on you to bring perspective and a different view. You are doing your best and that's all anyone can ever ask.

Obviously we don't know the details and I doubt many of us have mental health backgrounds. If you have the time and capacity do you allow yourself to just support them by listening? There are so many different things that could be encompassed within a mental health breakdown, but if the person can be logical but isn't most of the time are you able to have logic train conversations with them? Are they able to understand boundaries as well? Stuff like "I'm currently working right now, but can we discuss this at 2 when I have a break for 15 minutes?" you then have a dedicated time and an end period to say at 2:15 that you need to wrap up the conversation so you can get back to work etc.Thank you guys! I just don't know what to do, because it's starting to affect my life too. It's a nonstop, all day every day thing. And if I don't answer they spiral because I didn't answer them. I have already been dealing with today's issues since 7am.
