When supportive friendships become enabling patterns

My best friend and I have been supporting each other through depression for years but lately it feels like we're just reinforcing each other's stuck places instead of helping each other grow, and I don't know how to break that cycle without abandoning her. We've become each other's comfort zone in ways that might not be healthy.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love that began as refuge can become a cage, and two people must navigate the difference between holding space and holding each other back.
