I hear you. It is so hard to really discuss what we are going through with friends with no lived experience.

@Shaz51 I hear you & feel you. Just so you know, I have always appreciated your presence, encouragement & comments on this forum site. This might be an unusual suggestion, but if you meditate or even just relaxing with a cuppa - Send an invitation out with your heart & mind for a trusted friend to come along, then spend a little time imagining how that would feel. Miracles happen every day after all.....!

Alright my wonderful humans, this has been an amazing one - truly blown away by your honesty and insight. You're all amazing.
@Shaz51 @Hydrangea @FindingStrength @Dama @Anastasia
& others that have been involved throughout the night, huge thank you for everything you have offered up on boundary setting as a carer. Everyone who has engaged tonight have been incredible, and I apologise I can not squeeze all the @ tags in above but you certainly have all had a huge impact tonight and I have learnt alot over the last 1.5 hours.
Extra big thanks to our guest @Bron from the wonderful Arafmi. I recommend checking them out here, an incredible resource for mental health carers so again, thank you @Bron for your guidance this evening. We also encourage each of you to have a look around the SANE Forums community, our forum is here 24/7 moderated by mental health professionals. We're always here to hold space for the wonderful carers of those affected by complex mental health.
I will leave this thread open for you all until tomorrow to debrief! Goodnight All!

@Former-Member @Bron & everyone else - HUGE thank you! Even though we're typing & not even having a visual (which I'd love to have some time) this has been a very nourishing experience & I've gained some very useful information, tips & ideas.
We are all doing a greatly under-recognised service for our families & loved ones, so lets all give ourselves a hug & smile - self validation right.
Good night all xx
