[quote=Anonymous]OP, it’s never just one crisis. It was a cascade of never-ending crises - some bigger than others but all calling for my help, or at least I thought so at the time. I say this as someone whose DH cheated and had a subsequent mental health crisis. Many who have loved ones living with mental illness live by the motto, “secure your own oxygen mask first.” Securing your own mask doesn’t mean you won’t help others. It means you can help others best when you make sure your physical, emotional, financial, career etc. needs are being reasonably met. If you keep giving up your own needs and stability in favor of someone else, you will be in trouble yourself and no longer able to help the other. Please consider taking the NAMI Family to Family course. [/quote]
