Should I stay away from friends with severe depression and anxiety?
Name: Arjun Date of Birth: 9 November 1994 Place of Birth: Bengaluru Time: 9:50 AM. A few of my best friends are facing extreme depression and anxiety, and I want to be there for them. However, recently I started feeling emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed. Their suffering is genuine, but I'm finding it difficult to bear it with them. I feel bad even thinking about distancing myself. Must I keep my distance from friends who are mentally struggling, or is there a way of being supportive without losing myself?

6 months agoHello Arjun. Born in Bengaluru in Scorpio season, you are a "healer" by nature, but even healers need a shield. This is "Sympathetic Anxiety." Because you are a Scorpio, you don't just "hear" their pain; you "become" it. You must learn the difference between Empathy (Jupiter) and Absorption (Ketu). Cause: Your 11th House (Friends) is bleeding into your 1st House (Self). Remedy & Solution: ● Salt Cleansing: Wash your hands with salt water after talking to struggling friends. ● Wear Lead/Iron: A small iron ring helps ground "other people’s" energies so they don't stay in your field. ● Action: "Scheduled Support." Tell them: "I can talk from 6 PM to 7 PM." Setting a time limit is a Saturnian boundary that keeps you safe while remaining a good friend.
