4 Signs It’s Time to Walk Away from Someone with Mental Illness
When you are in an intimate relationship with someone whose mental health is fragile, it is natural to feel protective and loyal. However, there are times when it’s important to consider getting some distance from the person struggling with mental illness.
Not every mental illness is treatable, and not every person with mental illness is capable of getting the help they need. It’s important to recognize when you have reached a point when you are sacrificing your own emotional and mental wellbeing in order to support your partner.
Signs You Need to Walk Away
- Your partner refuses to seek medical help
- Your mental and physical health is failing
- The relationship has become abusive
- You've tried supporting your partner, but there is no improvement
If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is time to start re-evaluating the relationship and decide if it is time to take a break from the person. Creating some distance from a partner with mental illness can give both of you some time to reflect on the relationship and decide if being together is best for both of you.
