Best advice to establish and maintain a healthy balance in your relationship? Don't read "Stop Walking on Eggshells".

But they’re more like a how-we-play-this-game instruction manual. They help us avoid the unnecessary anxiety of walking on eggshells, and instead lay out a simple blueprint to avoid arguments and drama.

stop walking on eggshells #3:

This isolation can take various forms, such as discouraging or preventing you from spending time with loved ones, manipulating situations to keep you away from social interactions, or making you feel guilty for seeking outside support. Your partner is already angry and is already lashing out at you. As much as you want to talk, you bite your lip and swallow the harsh words that your partner is saying. You don’t want to make things worse, so you choose to stay quiet. 4. Non-verbal abuse is present This behavior can manifest in many different ways, depending on the situation. For example, you might avoid bringing up certain topics of conversation around a friend who gets easily offended. Or, you might walk on eggshells around your boss, never questioning their decisions or expressing your opinions. Whether it’s emotionally or financially, feeling dependent will make you feel that you can no longer survive without your partner. So, you just try your best to please this person, even if it means you have to tolerate walking on eggshells. 14. You feel trapped and lost Read this trying to make sense of a past relationship that started and stopped over a dozen times in a few months. Roller coaster only begins to describe what was going on and not only did the relationship end poorly, I struggled trying to understand what had happened. One moment the world was fine, and the next everything was wrong and couldn't be fixed. I was alternately the best thing that had ever happened or the most colossal screwup. There was no in between and the switch could happen over something so innocuous as not eating mashed potatoes.

It takes a village to raise a child” If we’re talking in phrases, then this is quite an appropriate one to use. When you’re constantly walking on eggshells, you might begin to feel lonely, even if you’re an active partner in the relationship.Emotional exhaustion: Trying to maintain a constant state of vigilance and awareness around someone else can be exhausting, both mentally and emotionally.

If we ask a question and there’s nothing ‘wrong’, this part is easy. We stop walking on eggshells and go about our evening. Safe in the knowledge that everything’s OK.

A few things I didn't like. It talks about "curing" people with BPD which is hard for me. I don't think I need to be "cured" of my anxiety. I don't think I *can* be cured. I can treat it and manage it, but I feel it's hurtful to treat people with mental illness as broken in some way, and feel it is a bit of a lie and possibly harmful to hint that you can remove this part of your life if only you try hard enough. Curing is for removing outside, malignant things from our bodies. I have complicated feeling around that and chronic illness. For more mental health resources, see our National Helpline Database.
