Self-care is crucial when supporting a loved one's mental health. Taking care of your own well-being ensures you have the emotional capacity to offer effective support. Engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation, and set healthy boundaries to prevent burnout. Reach out to your own support network, whether it's friends, family, or professionals. Remember that you can't pour from an empty cup; prioritizing self-care enables you to provide sustainable support to your loved one.
