Family dramas were really affecting my mental health and I was put on antidepressants earlier this year. I’ve always been the people pleaser in my family - but I reached my limit. My family (extended not immediate) is in disarray and I feel guilty that I should be trying to pick up the pieces and help put it back together. I just don’t think I can get involved again - the thought of it shatters my nerves.

Is anyone trying to pressure you to get involved?

It’s not completely clear what you are asking but if you want to have no contact that’s completely fine and your choice. Low or very low contact is perhaps less loaded.

No pressure. Just my mind working overtime.

Other than feeling like you should let these family members back in your life, do you actually want to?

Do you see a possible situation where they are not damaging to you mental health or well being?

Are they the type that you could have a little contact with or not?

Which bothers you more, the idea of not having them in your life or the effect they have on you when they are in it?
