ive never done this but I’m feeling crippled by my anxiety this week. I have a close relative who is a deeply depressed alcoholic.. who unloads on another family member (not physically). It keeps me up at night knowing they are both suffering. I’m pulled into the middle of it alot of times and I’m not emotionally strong enough to carry it.

@helpfulCoconut5087 I understand that it's very difficult to be pulled into a situation that's not directly in our control. The fact that you care about them shows that you are a good person. You aren't obligated to be strong, at least here. You are safe in this place. Feel free to talk about it further. If you feel like you can also message me and talk about it.
