Walking On Eggshells
We all have to be around individuals that essentially sap our energy, but what if those people occupied all of your waking hours? You can try to be as happy as you can, make changes in your life, and you will eventually succeed in maturing your being, but you can't maintain happiness if those around you are a succubus in their own right. How can you continue to live in the pleasant environment you strive to create if those who are dealing with depression, anxiety, or grief won't let you just be yourself?

For individuals who are dealing with mental illness, it's like walking on eggshells, but having the responsibility of keeping life running and not doing too much harm is in all manuals; nevertheless, the family suffers as well, and we overlook it so frequently because of the person dealing with the issue itself. Psychologists, on the other hand, are aware that treating patients who require their treatment sometimes involves the entire family.
But in this tumultuous time of life, it won't happen for people receiving care in virtual worlds or at all.
And let's face it, with elective treatment being less of a choice now, folks who had no concerns in 2019 might be beyond a typical breaking point in 2023. So what do families actually do? How do people's lives not become completely consumed by grief, depression, and anxiety? How do families manage to stay together and prevent divorce from becoming the default option?
Personally, I believe that the first step in every scenario is acknowledging your truth. Even though the Pig will look absolutely pretty with that lipstick you just added, lying to ourselves every day won't make the troubles go away.
Besides, who knows how long the lipstick will even last, as pigs continue to be dirty as usual…
Getting help is Step 2, which is vital.
Even while there is disorder in the world, there is some help available, and if you are suffering and doing nothing to change your circumstances, people are not required to continue being understanding forever if you are not choosing to help yourself when options exist.
Do you have people depending on you for therapy and support without getting the help they need?
