How do you handle?

[JennyorAlice]

What do you do when someone doesn't deal with their own mental health issues? Has it ever become a problem or created issues in your own life? How do you handle the situation?

When someone doesn’t address their mental health, it can affect those around them if their behavior becomes unpredictable or draining. I try to distance, avoid taking on their emotional burden, and encourage them to seek help.

I already have my own issues with dealing with my ADHD. Plus, I'm trying to find out if I am on the autism spectrum as well. I ended up having to distance myself from someone else because they wouldn't address their own issues. I've already got my hands full with my own stuff......I don't have enough room to deal with someone else's stuff too. It was too draining.
