Scenario

When housemates with mental health struggles create unhelpful dynamics

My roommates and I all struggle with depression and we moved in together thinking it would help but we've created this household where everyone's low energy feeds into everyone else's and none of us know how to break the cycle without abandoning each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Mutual support was the intention but similar struggles have created a shared environment that perpetuates rather than alleviates individual difficulties.
