Other's Burdens Can Be Difficult to Carry

To the Hive,
​I have a friend who is going through a hard time, but she has the mindset that therapy is for people with, her words, "real problems." I am trying to help her the best I can, but her concerns are becoming too much for me to handle. How should I go about this?
                                                                                                                                                                       - A very concerned friend


To A Very Concerned Friend,
It is so important to be there for our friends in order to continue that strong bond, however, it is perfectly OK to admit that your friend's struggles are a lot to handle. It is not your job to carry her burdens even though you love and want to help her. You mentioned that she is against going to therapy because she thinks she is not experiencing "real problems." No matter how small you think an issue is, if it is affecting your life, it is always important to have someone help you. Don't be afraid to kindly let your friend know that it is a lot to hear her stressors all the time. Friends, after-all, are supposed to be there for each other, yes, but also experience fun times and non-stressful situations as well. You can always offer her a few sources of therapy to call such as services at Be Well Psychotherapy or look for local sources with a quick google search. You are a great friend for reaching out!​
