Weekly Prompt #35: How hard is it for you to set boundaries in your relationships?

ASilentObserver April 18th

Hello all, I hope you are all being easy on yourself this week.

Last week we discussed: What is one difficult life situation you are facing right now? Thank you to all who participated and shared their thoughts and questions for discussion. They were thought-provoking questions and thoughts. I hope you all did too. If you didn't share yours, please share them here and I look forward to reading and discussing them with you

This week's prompt: How hard is it for you to set boundaries in your relationships?


Setting boundaries in relationships can be a challenging task, and when you are also depressed, it can become even more daunting. The struggle to prioritize your own needs and well-being while navigating the complexities of interpersonal connections can feel overwhelming. So please share the challenges and difficulties that you encounter in your relationships while navigating depression. 

Note: I invite all to help me with creating these weekly prompt discussions so that we all can come together and discuss something related to depression every week. If you any interested in helping me out, please share your interest through this form and  I will reach out to you to guide and support you in creating the next discussion.

@branbear88 I am sorry to hear that setting boundaries has been challenging for you in the past, leading to negative effects on your well-being. Ending a relationship can bring up difficult emotions. It is great that you have recognized the need for personal growth through therapy and mindfulness practices. What feelings come up for you when considering these changes?
