could i have some advice on how to cut toxic people out of my life
some context: she’s suffering from mental illnesses and i’ve been trying to help her for a year now, but she’s been treating me like a box to vent her emotions into, and she doesn’t really care about me at all. she makes rude comments about many things i do too ??? i’ve tried removing myself but i’m afraid it will have negative impacts on her health but it’s beginning to affect me
I understand but my advice still stands. At the end of the day you are not responsible for someone else’s mental health, just as no one is responsible for yours but yourself. A mental illness can explain the reason for the behavior but it does not excuse it. If her mental heath deteriorated due to you leaving her? Not your problem. I know that sounds cruel but you do not owe her anything. Particularly because she seems to have no care whatsoever for your well-being.
thank you <3
