there is a very thin line between giving and helping especially when it comes to friends and families..now when can we say that enough is enough in this situation? some of us cant stop helping and giving because the main reason is: they're family and friends. its hard to say no to them. where should the boundary lie?

Friends or family....enough is enough when it starts affecting your health in a negative way.

can you clear it up for me? what do you mean affecting our health in a negative way - do you mean when we can't sleep at night anymore because they're somewhat bugging us? thanks!

Well, panic attacks, anxiety attacks, headaches, migraines,neck pain and sleepless nights. Since this person walked away I am just dealing with mild anxiety. Pretty soon I am hoping I will be back to feeling normal.

i depends how much help you can give,if it is beyond your ability,then you won't worry about that,if you can do,so help as much as you can,more than that,we are helping friends and families,even some stranger we'd better offer our hand ,so it all depends,my friend,take it easy.

hi buddies such a really nice and important topic to discuss. i think their is no time for enough cos if u helping some one then its not to enough ... and if u giving someone then it could be enough for helping not to enough and for giving it may be enough Prince Sad
