Six Living Well Principles for Those Who Love Someone with a Mental Health Diagnosis
My wife is an amazing woman. She has loved me at my worst. My mental health challenges have taken a toll on her and also our children. But, today we are more in love than ever before, and we have great relationships with our adult children. However, my wife would tell you that she had to learn how to take care of herself emotionally when I was at my worst. To be a caregiver long term she had to discipline herself with principles of wellness for herself.
Mental Illness is like so many other diseases; it affects the entire family and close friends as they attempt to love and care for their son, daughter, spouse or close friend who is struggling with a mental health condition. Thus, it is just as imperative for those who are the loved ones (caregivers) to apply wellness principles to themselves as they make the journey along with their family member or friend who has a mental illness.
When our Fresh Hope groups meet both those who have a mental health diagnosis along with their loved ones all meet in the same group for the first half of our meetings. When we started Fresh Hope we initially only had principles of recovery (we call them tenets) for those who had a mental health diagnosis, and we discovered something significant; those who were loved ones needed wellness principles too!
When loved ones don’t take good care of themselves emotionally as the care for someone who has a mental health diagnosis they can develop a mental health challenge themselves.
So, here are the wellness principles for those who are the spouses, kids, sons and daughters and friends of those of us who have a mental health diagnosis:
