why would you want to go down with someone else’s ship. in a self made disaster no less
they are never going to appreciate you for your effort
your needs never get met if you don’t put them first and make you a priority
the first rule of emergency preparedness of rescuers is to keep themselves safe
so apply that principle to mental health and self care-taking.
part of that is helping but not getting emotionally involved with the person and their problem, even while solving it
it’s about maintaining an awareness of your sphere of influence and span of control – compared to your actual responsibility in the situation
it’s okay to go above and beyond, but that needs to be acknowledged and not taken as their due.
imagine a social org chart box; remember what your relationship to them is
how that fits in the hierarchy and web of all your relationships
perspective, it’s a wonderful and magical thing sometimes
