Toxic Relationships

I have a 40+ relationship with my best friend. While she has always caused me some stress lately I cannot hardly even talk to her. My adrenals are really low and I'm battling to not tell her I just have to get away from her. I've tried to tell her about my condition and that my doctor tells me I have to eliminate stress. She tells me she has fatigue etc also and has stress too. I'm beating my head against the wall. One positive thing is I'm going to be moving and at least I won't have to rescue her all the time physically.

My husband is a big stressor to me also and he knows that I can't deal with it but it's his personality. He doesn't even know when he does it to me.

Has anyone had counseling to learn coping skills and how did that work for you.

Any other comments welcomed.
