    I don't know how to handle people who push others away when they are struggling. I WANT to be there. I don't know how much reaching out and saying "I am here" is too much and what isn't enough. It's like walking a thin line between being supportive and obnoxious. It makes me paranoid and anxious.

    Sometimes the ones pushing away, aren’t wanting to push you away. They’re more understanding that you can’t fix their struggle. I’m sure they appreciate you, even if it comes across as wanting to be alone. You sound like a wonderful friend 💜

    I read an article that said most caregivers end up dying before the one they’re caring for. It kind of freaked me out, because I’ve always felt my life would end tragically.

    That's a pretty cruel fate or not...I don't know. It's almost as if like the life is being transferred between the two.

    Thank you! That's probably partially it. I am a fixer and most people know that. I just never want anyone to feel like I have abandoned them so I have a constant internal battle of giving them space and reinforcing that I am there.

    just keep loving the people you love the best you can without worrying about how they respond to you

    This is excellent advice. Thank you ❤
