Mental Health TipCounselingTherapy
Written By Xiomara A. Sosa

It’s natural for us to want to react or respond to someone behaving in unacceptable ways. Most times it’s just a bad mood, unpleasant behavior, or something else. However, there are times when mental health issues are present playing a big role in the behavior. 

Either way, engaging in their disturbing behavior is never healthy for us. Being reactive or responding can feed the behavior and cause us emotional harm. When you’ve made an effort to resolve things and things continue to spiral, it’s probably time to distance yourself.

It might be time to assess if you should put distance between you and the person(s). I am a big supporter of not engaging in toxic behavior and putting up firm boundaries with anyone who is showing signs of toxic behavior. I always discuss it with my professional mental health provider to ensure I am considering my role in the situation and what I am dealing with. Take care of your mental health!
