How I Set Boundaries at Work With Care

Last month, I found myself stressed after a coworker called me late at night—again. It made me realize I needed to set some clear boundaries, especially since they’re managing bipolar disorder and things can get intense. Here’s what’s helped me keep things respectful and balanced: ✅ I keep conversations work-focused and never share their diagnosis with others. Privacy matters. ✅ I’m upfront about my limits, like not taking work calls after hours, and I repeat them when needed. Consistency is key. ✅ If boundaries get crossed, I calmly explain what happened and what needs to change—no drama, just clarity. ✅ I also take care of myself: daily walks, venting to a trusted friend, and checking in with my supervisor if things get overwhelming.
