Liked Matthias James Barker, LMHC on Instagram: "Here's what you can do to support them: The key is to support or ask for help in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming or exhausting for them. Here are some examples: - I was thinking of watching a new movie tonight, and I'd love your company. Do you mind if I come over with snacks? We can just relax and enjoy the it together. - I'm trying out different tea blends and could really use your help to choose the best one. Want to join me for a tea tasting session? - There’s a new cafe that opened up nearby, and I heard they have great coffee. Want to check it out with me? My treat! - It's a great evening for a drive. How about we just cruise around for a bit while listening to some good music? I can pick you up in an hour! Keep in mind that, sometimes, they might not be up to hosting at their place if they think it’s untidy, and going out might seem overwhelming if it requires a lot of preparation or too much energy. So opt for activities that are simple and enjoyable — things that won't drain their energy but will genuinely make them feel included and valued. This way, you offer support without adding pressure.
