I couldn't find a comparable list so I hope to hear from you.

What things would you like people to avoid saying?

Unless you have a link to share?

When someone you love has mental health issues,it is incredibly difficult to navigate, especially if they have said hurtful things.

I have so much respect respect those who are able to stay compassionate and ready for if healing does happen.

It can be completely impossible to get help for a loved one unless they are making themselves or others unsafe. They have to choose it for themselves.
