It's easy to forget about your own needs when you're worried about someone you love, but you shouldn't neglect your own self-care in these kinds of situations. 'You need to take extra care of yourself when you're helping someone through a crisis,' says Audrey Hope, celebrity relationship expert and addiction counselor. 'The stronger you are, the better it is for both of you.' No matter how bad things get, Hope recommends doing a few simple things to keep yourself feeling in control during a crisis: Take the time to shower and change your clothes, get some fresh air and sunlight every now and then, and take short breaks from your partner's side to eat and walk around. The little things can make a big difference.
