When roommates enable each other's mental health struggles

My roommates and I all deal with depression but we've created this household culture where we enable each other's worst habits and isolation instead of supporting actual healing, and none of us knows how to change the dynamic without feeling like we're abandoning each other. We're stuck in collective dysfunction disguised as support.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Well-intentioned mutual support has calcified into patterns that perpetuate the very conditions everyone seeks to escape.
