How to support someone with depression

I am someone that currently is trying my best while having strict boundaries to keep myself from feeling burnt out from supporting someone with mental illness. I believe if you are willing to love or at least try to love someone with mental illness, it can be so REWARDING. Here, I would love to share with you guys my own experience. I would love to hear how you guys deal with supporting someone with mental illness or even how you guys cope with depression. Thank you!

Welcome to 7 cups, Lion!

Its great to know that you're helpimg someone deal with their mental illness. I see that you're trying your best not to feel exhausted or burnt out because of that, it's always good to take out some time for yourself every day, even if it's as little as 10mins, and just be in he moment. I hope you're liking 7 cups so far, and I hope this community can help you learn more about coping skills! Take care! ❤️
