Setting Healthy Boundaries
· Your mental health. However, I understand it is hard to set up that is right to separate from everyone who put you down, especially for me. I know this feeling since I have chatted with certain family members and mostly celebrated with friends I created as a family.
· I recommend writing things down when you want to take a big break or not talk to them anymore. It is good to give people closure unless you feel it is unnecessary. Then, ask yourself if it is worth it. Does this person put me down? Will it help me with my mental health and my future family? To some of you, this may be hard for many people and is why people struggle a lot with their mental health due to family events.
· I understand why you are doing this. However, when setting healthy boundaries, don't be disappointed if you start losing friends or family. You are doing the right thing and understanding that you don't have to please anyone but yourself.
