Ever felt like you’re always the one holding things down in a relationship!?
—whether it’s a partner, a friend, or even family
—but when you need support, it’s crickets?
That’s a draining relationship, and trust me, you don’t have to keep pouring into people who leave you empty.
How to Know a Relationship is Draining You
- You’re always the giver. They take and take, but when you need something? Nothing.
- You feel exhausted after dealing with them. Like you just ran a whole marathon… emotionally.
- They guilt-trip you. Every time you set a boundary, they make you feel bad for it.
- You don’t feel supported. When it’s their crisis, you drop everything. But your problems? Suddenly, they’re too busy.
- The vibe is just heavy. Too much arguing, tension, or walking on eggshells? Not worth it.
How to Take Your Energy Back
- Stop ignoring the signs. If it feels draining, it probably is. Don’t gaslight yourself into staying.
- Set boundaries (and enforce them!). Saying no is self-care. You don’t owe anyone unlimited access to your energy.
- Detach without guilt. Loving someone doesn’t mean you have to keep them close if they’re harming your peace.
- Find your people. The right relationships will pour into you, not drain you. Choose wisely.
- Put yourself first. Healing means learning to prioritize YOU, even if that makes others uncomfortable.
The truth is, not everyone deserves a front-row seat in your life. You can love people from a distance and still protect your peace.
If you’re in a draining relationship and don’t know how to break free, you’re not alone. Let me be the support you’ve been missing.
