Just got rid of someone who was pulling me down with thier own depression and anxiety. Just heard them talking about me through the air conditioner vent thats in the wall. I'm done. I"m tired of going into attacks myself. Thier dang service dog that I posted has gone to the bathroom on my bath mat in the motel not once but twice then after the last time the dog did it they ask if I still need a bath mat since she was going to wash it

hlangdon, you did the right thing in pulling away from a toxic person. We owe

it to ourselves to keep anxiety and depression low. Being around more positive

people can help. I know at the motel your choices may be limited but thank goodness

for the A/C vents that allowed you to see her true spirit. xx

You're sweet Melhall. I think having our medical backgrounds plays a lot

into our seeing life at a different prospective. I've seen the worst and the

best case scenario in my life. It all makes me have a respect for what we've

been given. Life is Good Love you and what you've given to others :) xx

thank you Agora. its sad that even people with mental health issues can be toxic. It was to the point i almost put myself back into the hospital today. my anxiety has been up especially at night. I hate to take my vistaril because i'm on so many meds for my diabetes and anxiety and depression. it was to the point this person was even asking me to go knock on other people's doors to get her a cigarette and they told someone else not to get someone in trouble like they are parents.

Oh my gosh, bold to say the least. I always remind myself that no one is worth putting

me back in the hospital.. no one. Unbelievable for a person with mental health issues to ask this of you or really anybody else. Stay strong. You are #1. xx

You have to take care of yourself first

I don't understand why you were with this person that you called toxic. Was it a friend or someone that hired you because they needed help with mental health issues. If they need a services dog it sounds serious. If nobody takes the dog for a walk it is going shit on the bathroom floor and keep shiting until someone takes it outside. Do you know what withdraws feel like? For some people, smoking is the best thing that makes them relax and feel better. I know is help me. I suffer from depression and there are times I can't get out of bed to get some cigarettes from the store and the withdraws make the depression at it's worse. I glad I have someone that understands what it is like and helps me. Maybe there is more to it that is why you said you just got rid of someone who was pulling you down with their depression and anxiety. I thought this is about helping people not walking out when they need help. Like I said I don't understand what happens and why you did that. I'm sure you had a good reason.

deadmanwalking i met her at the motel i'm staying at. This person is pushy and will take advantage of people. this person has the service dog and has trained them to go on training pads. They don't walk the dog outside at all. THey had a trust issue with people and I should have do things for this person like fill out apartment searches for them. I deal with my anxiety by myself and dont need someone else's issues bringing me down. Would you want someone with mental health issues telling you what to do

Okay, I thought she was a friend that was staying with you.

You did right by protecting yourself from this .

It’s quite difficult to do sometimes so well done!!

I just learned that my family members are toxic. I have tried to be nice and cordial; however, I just have very bad anxiety in wide open spaces.

They don’t acknowledge my medical conditions ONLY the mental health ones—I get sick and tired of being the nice one and ‘allowing’ them to be disrespectful. I have been through so much and yet, they tend to be complete 🤬 to me.
