The absolute worst part is when the person who drains you is a lovely person who you love very much. Its not their fault, and I hope they know this.

There are two types of tired I suppose, One is the dire need of sleep and the other is the dire need of peace.

I have a friend that is depressed I’ve been dealing with this for years. I want to help her (even if it’s just listening and talking to her) and I’m genuinely scared for her. But sometimes, it’s draining being around her. It’s gotten to a point where a lot of the negativity has rubbed off on me and it’s affected me socially. I often leave our conversations feeling hopeless and walking on eggshells. I think it might be time for a break. If anyone is going through a similar experience, I hope you’re doing ok and understand that you don’t have to carry all that weight. Take a break and take care of yourself first <3

i realized that i drained someone mentally... i took notice of it myself and it really hurt when i saw them struggling because im incredibly selfless and i hate to see others hurting- i decided to leave them because they needed the space... i miss them every day ):

for context, he was an amazing person i had met online... we were basically platonic soulmates (i believe at least)- they were the only person i trust, so i unknowingly dumped all my problems on them- i noticed that i was draining them because at some point, they were really apathetic about my issues... i should have realized what i was doing-

a friend is not your therapist... yes venting is nice, but you cant expect them to help you with everything- dont become too dependent on others

i wish i had realized what i did sooner

I fear being the person who drains other people, that's why I avoid interacting with others too much :((

Energy vampires are people who — sometimes intentionally — drain your emotional energy. They feed on your willingness to listen and care for them, leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed. Energy vampires can be anywhere and anyone.👍

A big clue for me that I was being drained by a certain person was I started feeling dread when the telephone rang, then if somebody else's name came up on caller ID, I would feel a huge sense of relief. I realised that none of the other people I knew made me feel that way.

The person I feel this way about doesn't even do anything wrong. They're completely fine, I just get so drained for no reason.

I think the hardest part of this is realizing it’s someone you love so much and means so much to you but having to accept that even tho they may be the sweetest and most caring person you know, you have to absolutely put your mental health first and let them go 😞😔

If your energy is drained your intuition is telling you to put up boundaries. Those boundaries may be internal or external. It could be as simple as “remember that persons words can’t hurt you. Remember they’re projecting on you” or even telling them you can’t be friends or boyfriend/girlfriend anymore

I thought I was a bad person for experiencing this around my parents but seeing I'm not alone in this makes me feel so much better. Thank you all and I hope things will get better for all of us 🥺

This is exactly how I felt with my ex-best friend years ago. I felt extremely anxious every time she texted me, or I was very upset every time I returned home after meeting with her because it were unpleasant interactions.

She was my only close friend at the time, and we had a good friendship for years, so I felt guilty and hopeless. I thought I had to let it pass by and ignore my feelings because I thought she didn't deserve it.

Then I realized that the only way to heal myself was to cut her out of my life. Sometimes I miss her, but I don't miss her negativity and how she made me feel. I prioritized my mental health, and it was the best decision.

"Number 2, you feel uneasy around them"

Yeah, that's my parents alright.

I felt this with my best friend of 10years. I just ended our relationship, I could no longer go on. I finally was able to voice how draining our friendship has been. Of course it’s not the easiest thing to do but I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders.

i once had a friend that is very emotionally unstable, she would be either very energetic or she could be overthinking and asking me tons of questions to reassure her. it’s been years and i realised i’m not the only one getting emotionally drained by her. its kind of sad that she calls me ‘best friend’ but tbh i never felt that deep with her. i was like walking on egg shells when i’m with her although she said sorry everytime after her ‘tantrum’. but i felt really great letting her go since lockdown (which is one of the excuses i made not to meet up with her) i felt sad for her but we really aren’t ‘meant to be’ good friends. it’s great that i put my mental health first.

its the worst when that someone is in my class and in love with me. he makes me so uncomfortable, so after all the stress, i pulled myself together, told him i dont wanna talk to him again and blocked his number. im so glad that we only have zoom classes for now, because seeing him in person makes me uneasy

Funny enough, I drain myself by making myself do things I don’t want to, and forcing myself to go on with something even if it’s 3am.

I don’t know if it’s my introversion being so extreme, anxiety, or I’ve just been around draining people my entire life (or all three), because I can pinpoint multiple people throughout my life that fit two or more things on this list (including family)

The things is that my Best friend is going through depression, she almos comited suicide. I’m constantly worried and live with fear, I'm afraid that if I’m not on time I might lose her. Sadly everytime I hear a notification my hands shake or my heart starts beating really fast. I don’t even enjoy talking to her that much anymore, I’m afraid I’ll say something and hurt her. I tried making feel better to convince her to wait for help, and she has it now, but nothing seems to get better. I don’t want to feel anxious anymore, sometimes I can’t even sleep. I want help too. Or maybe I’m just overreacting, it’s just that it hurts so much.
Thank you for listening to me

tsye.
