Struggling to balance support and self-care—where’s the line? 💔🤔

I have a sister with bipolar disorder who struggles deeply with depression. Caring for her is incredibly challenging, but as her sibling, I try to be there for her—even when it’s tough. When it comes to friends, though, I admit I have little energy left. I tend to avoid those with major issues or constant negativity. I believe everyone faces problems, and I’m there for my friends when they need help. But if their struggles become overwhelming or habitual—especially when I’m dealing with my own challenges—I step back. Is this selfish? Or is it okay to prioritize your own well-being while still being supportive when possible? #MentalHealthAwareness #FriendshipBoundaries #SelfCare #SupportingOthers #PersonalLimits
