We all need someone to vent to and get advice from but sometimes that turns into a one-way street and you become that person that is always getting hit up and having everyone else's problems dumped in your lap.

Helping others is always a great thing and you should always be willing to hear someone out and help them through their issues but when it becomes repetitive on the same issues from the same person it can become exhausting and take a toll on your own mental health. especially when an individual is always and only calling when they have issues it may be a sign it's time to set boundaries.

Tim and I talk about how we deal with some of these situations and our past experiences on people who tend to use and abuse the access you give them. Setting boundaries is very important in these types of situations not only for your own mental health but to the other person's mental health. It's important to lay out your expectations on your limited time and if that individual is heeding your advice or not, if they are not taking your advice then what is the point, to even having a conversation.

Always remember whether you are the one reaching out or the one being called to always be considerate of the other's time and mental health.

Say to your self "my Mental Health Is important'.
