How to be more mentally/emotionally supportive

...See more When I ask this question i am referring to the deeper aspect of it. For example if someone says ”life is terrible and I hate every aspect of it” me ( can you explain to me why or in what sense does life suck) I know that life is not or hasn’t been the best. It can be overwhelming at any moment if you allow it to be. when ever I start getting beyond stressed i pause myself take a deep breath and think mentally on why I feeling this way and what I can do to change that now me explaining to someone else it goes completely south they really don’t want to listen to what I have to say but listen to someone else that says the exact same thing that I am going to tell them

...See more I am having a great deal of trouble and mix responses on this topic above. I been trying to be an overall more supportive in different aspects as much as I possible can with my SO. I was given an ultimatum because I haven’t helped them. i was informed that my way of helping is not adult helping in bold terms. Long story short a traumatic event happened and old wounds led to my SO current mindset. They have lost motivation overall and does not feel appreciated aswell as many other things. I have been constantly been reassuring them, communicating with them the best way possible , listening, give feedback when appropriate be so on… I have suggested getting extra help in inperson therapy wise and we will go together for couple therapy. They go off stating I am not trying to handle the issue myself and just passing her along which isn’t the case. I been verbally abused and sometimes physical when she gets really upset. I explain to her that what she is doing is not acceptable and continues to degrade me and that I am not helping. I don’t know how can I be 1000 percent physically and mentally and execute things to get her out of that mindset. i do love and care about her and I want to do whatever it takes for her. I have been always a phone call away and took so much time when she asks me and overall I take it off so she is not alone.
