StellarSquirrel+FollowHow I Set Boundaries at Work With CareLast month, I found myself stressed after a coworker called me late at night—again. It made me realize I needed to set some clear boundaries, especially since they’re managing bipolar disorder and things can get intense. Here’s what’s helped me keep things respectful and balanced: ✅ I keep conversations work-focused and never share their diagnosis with others. Privacy matters. ✅ I’m upfront about my limits, like not taking work calls after hours, and I repeat them when needed. Consistency is key. ✅ If boundaries get crossed, I calmly explain what happened and what needs to change—no drama, just clarity. ✅ I also take care of myself: daily walks, venting to a trusted friend, and checking in with my supervisor if things get overwhelming. Have you ever had to set boundaries at work? What worked for you? #WorkplaceWellness #HealthyBoundaries #MentalHealthSupport #Health #MentalHealth00Share
jessica12+Followwhy did i answer when she called just to wreck my day?My mom’s been blowing up my phone all week. I finally picked up today—huge mistake. I told her I’ve been dealing with my son’s mental health crisis and didn’t have the energy. Her response? That it’s my fault. That I “ruined” him by marrying someone she never liked. I snapped. I told her everything—what we’ve been going through, how broken I feel—and she just threw it back in my face. I’m exhausted. Between my kid in the hospital, work, and trying to stay afloat, I didn’t think I had anything left to give. Now I know I don’t. I’m done carrying the guilt she keeps handing me. Just… done. #toxicparents #mentalhealthsupport #familydrama 1710Share
