My colleague is very open about her mental health at work and often goes into uncomfortable triggering details. These details are upsetting to hear and I am worried about her safety. I feel like my mental health is deteriorating because of being triggered. I am spiralling down. I have already suggested professional help for her but she doesn't want to listen.

Being triggered in a place where you're supposed to feel safe and that you cannot easily leave must be terrible. Since she's so open about mental health, maybe you could talk to her about how the situation is making you feel. I know that having these types of conversations with coworkers can feel very uncomfortable since people aren't usually really that close, but given the fact that she feels so strongly about sharing how she's feeling she might end up being very accommodating and open to the idea of establishing boundaries on what's okay and not okay to talk about in the workplace. Do you thing that that could be a good idea?

You can try to encourage professional help or seek guidance from HR or management. Remember, you are not responsible for managing your colleague's mental health. You can prioritize your own well-being. Taking steps to protect yourself and seeking support are important actions to take.
