Is it considered mental abuse if your partner is depressed and instead of getting help or addressing the issue, they let their emotions out on you and expect you to change and be their therapist? Causing you to have severe mental health issues and lowering your own mental health?

Short answer, yes.

I experienced this also and it ultimately ended with me separating from my SO. I had got to the point where I thought I had a mental illness of my own. Since leaving, I am much better.

I totally agree but some people (myself) often feel compelled to take on other people’s problems, oftentimes unconsciously. I do believe it requires some professional help.

Pretty sure this is just typically how consulting works.

Ooh - I read this as sexual partner not work partner but I think you’re right

Legally, no. That’s just them being stupid. That said, this doesn’t sound like a great relationship, and may lead to abuse later if this behavior escalates.

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

As of late, my work related anxiety has reached new levels and it’s really starting to affect me mentally. I’m part of a great team; I’m trusted and supported, have a great track record, there are no issues, and have been no incidents. Regardless, my professional self perception and confidence is so rattled as of late, it’s almost like a paralysis at times. I realize there are much larger problems right now, but if anyone has any tips or advice to get over this, I am all ears. Thanks all!
