How to help?
How do you tell someone close to you that they need help? Their mental state is affect myself and others around them. They are in denial and blaming other people for this and that and it’s getting too much now. Any advice please?

I'm dealing with this actually right now as well. So from what I'm learning it depends on the root cause of their mental state. Like is it drug induced? Disease? An organic physical condition. You have to start from there and work your way up through treatment.
Sometimes though a person will be belligerent and refuse to get help. Which is when you have to pull back and let them fall. Only then will they probably be willing and grateful for help.
But that can be dangerous depending on the condition. So there is a lot of fine line walking.
But approach everything with compassion and knowledge.

@canusernamebemyusername Thank you. It’s nothing to do with dugs or anything like that, it’s their temper how they explode and they always right and they get impulsive and very negative. I try to keep them positive and try look at it from this side etc but it’s getting harder as I have problems too and i get the back lash which isn’t helping me mentally
@xNicolax1 That kind of sounds a little like a mood disorder. But that just going on very little. But I have had to pull back in cases that dealt with mood disorders. They many times have to get to the point of desperation.
The hard part would be getting them to see someone. Which means they will probably need to hit rock bottom first.
So try to start putting yourself first a little more if you can.

@canusernamebemyusername yes I thought that to. I’m trying to avoid them hitting rock bottom as I get the brunt of it which is too much for me to deal with. Thank you for replying
