Hello DefiantBridge, consistency refers to similar behaviour in similar situations, while stability is to focus on the positive aspects of a relationship or with yourself, and able to have the strength to find a way to move on if they become upset or annoyed by communicating, commitment and settling any difference by making concessions.
A stable routine gives your life structure and makes you feel in control, however, with both or either of these, it's possible that something may break this and block us from feeling comfortable and mental illness can certainly be one major cause.
There is not a one‐size‐fits‐all approach, as engagement with them occurs in the person's personality and definitely the circumstances including how they are struggling and other life experiences that can help them to overcome this situation.
Being able to rebuild some acceptance and understanding in mental health isn’t the absence of mental health problems, it's the presence of positive individual qualities that you believe you have and capable to reestablish with confidence.
Once you can believe in this, that's the grassroots you need to start helping yourself.
Best wishes.
Geoff.
