The issue presented is a complex one. For anyone else stumbling across this, I have an optimal solution after having lived through this: delete your Instagram account. This solution is a net positive for everyone.

First thing you learn in swimming rescue.

If you are trying to help a drowning victim and they grab on to you, push yourself deeper underwater. The victim will let go and keep trying to get to the air.

In lifeguard training I was unironically told I might have to punch someone in the face to snap them out of it and ensure we don't both drown lol

Interesting, first thing we learned was to try to knee them in the groin to make them let go.
