Close relationships can present challenges in boundary-setting, yet understanding and support from loved ones can aid in this process. Self-awareness and honesty are crucial in recognizing mental limits and making informed decisions about personal well-being. Healthy relationships with oneself include making choices that prevent mental health decline. Communication with loved ones about personal boundaries can facilitate understanding and support. Quotes; "I knew I could not show up for her and still show up for myself." "Love doesn't force you into a position of pain that hurts you." "If I know I don't belong in a space and still allow myself to be in that space, I'm putting myself at risk of increased, further mental decline." "We don't know until we do the work... until we've done the understanding of who we are."
