Boundaries and Limits

In complete honesty this is something I struggle with. I can stress so much about my friends lives that my mental health and stress levels take a hit. Knowing when to remove yourself from somebody else's situation is a very important skill. If you see yourself becoming overly anxious about it chances, are you need to take a step back. There's nothing wrong with being involved in your friends lives and helping them through rough patches, but it becomes a problem when you avoid problems in your own life. There are a couple ways to deal with it though. The first and foremost is prayer. You aren't equipped to handle everyone else's problems and if they expect you to that's not a healthy friendship. give it to God He knows what to do and has a plan. The next is telling somebody preferably an adult. They can give you advice from knowing. The final tip is talking to the person and telling them you can't handle shouldering all their burdens and (gently) telling them to go to somebody else.

That's all the advice I have for you. XOXO
