Friends Who Always Have Problems

What to do with a friend who is always in crisis?

Know your limits. Just as with all things in life, you need to draw the line somewhere. Don’t let yourself become consumed with your friend’s problems. List your priorities and make sure that those things that come before your friend are tended to first.

What is a toxic friendship?

“Toxic friendships happen when one person is being emotionally harmed or used by another, making the relationship more of a burden than support,” says Suzanne Degges-White, author of Toxic Friendships. A bad friendship can increase your blood pressure, lower your immunity, and affect your mental health.
