AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Is it wrong of me to distance myself from someone i love if they drag down my mental health? If they always induce anxiety, always stress me, always depress me but i still love them? They really need me, without me they would become worse, but i struggle a lot trying to put up with them😰.

It is best to emotionally detach and distance yourself from people who drag you down. Whether you wish to help them or not will depend upon what kind of help and the nature of your personal relationship. But even if you help it is better to keep the emotions out of it.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
