Am I Helping or Taking Over?

Explore support that respects your loved one’s responsibility and your limits.

This is a self-reflection, not a validated screening test. It has no diagnostic score and cannot decide which treatment you need.

Start the check-in

Before you begin

Check patterns you want to think through. This is not a codependency diagnosis. You can leave items blank or stop at any time. More checked boxes do not equal a diagnosis or a higher level of care.

No name, email, or phone number is needed. This check-in does not send your choices to admissions or save them in browser storage. General website analytics may still operate. Use a private device when possible. Printing may leave a copy on your device or printer. You choose whether to contact Alpine.

Need urgent help? If someone is in immediate danger, cannot be woken, has trouble breathing, has a seizure, or may have overdosed, call 911. For suicidal thoughts or emotional crisis in the U.S., call 988. Do not wait for an online result or an admissions call. These tools are not monitored.

Your check-in

Select the items you want help with. Then choose “Show my next steps.” If you prefer, read the guidance below without making any selections.

You can still read each item and the next steps below. Interactive results need JavaScript.

What your answers can help you discuss

Helping is not always simple. Health, disability, and safety needs may change what support is reasonable.

I do tasks my loved one could safely do themselves.

Choose one responsibility to return with clear, kind communication.

I cover up problems so others will not notice.

Discuss an honest response that protects privacy without hiding harm.

I give money without knowing how it will be used.

Decide what specific help you can offer within your limits.

I neglect sleep, work, or my own care to manage their life.

Restore one routine and seek your own support.

I feel responsible for making them stay sober.

Talk with a counselor about what you can and cannot control.

I change a boundary whenever they become upset.

Choose one realistic boundary and plan how to keep it safely.

Choose one small step

Ask: Does this support their next healthy step, and can I offer it without harm to myself?

Words you can use: “I have noticed a change. I would like help understanding it and making a safe plan.”

Common questions

What if I did not check anything?

That does not rule out a concern. You may still ask a qualified professional about anything that worries you.

Who sees my choices?

This check-in does not submit your choices to Alpine. It does not alert a clinician. If you want help, contact a provider yourself.

Can this tell me whether I need residential care?

No. A care provider needs to consider your health, safety, daily life, support, and preferences before recommending treatment.
