I don't know

[Fiction]

There are so many people that come to me for help. I like helping people I'm not complaining. I just sometimes can't handle it. It depresses me. All these people I try to help, but never really know if i've done any good. Never really knwoing if i've helped or just made things worse.

I keep getting like... bombarded from all sides. People ending up in hospital and people telling me they want to die. I'm trying so hard to hold on myself. After last week i'm still a mess.

I want to help people. I won't stop helping them, because if I do then there really is no point me being alive, but how do I do that when less than 2 weeks ago I was in hospital after a suicide attempt?

Course you can Kathy. You're passing on the benefit of your experience to other people, I feel exactly the same way. You did help me, you helped me so much, I can hardly tell you how much I appreciated it.

Thanks Matt :) Glad I could help. And anytime :)

Thanks :) and when you're better, you'll be even better at helping people, cos you'll have been through it yourself.

Kathy, I think that's quite a brave post.

I would imagine all of us that try to help others get burnt out at times, I know I do. We have our own problems to deal with and yet our concern for others can bring us to meltdown. I know that's how it is for me. But if its in your nature to care for other people you cant just switch it off.

I dont know you well but if you need another person to vent to you know how to get me.

Im going to be honest this is a totally natural reaction Kathy. :hug3: You know im here whenever you need me, don't ever think otherwise. You've helped a lot of us so much more than you'll ever know.

I can safely say that you've helped me. Just being there for people is good enough to make a big difference, and you definetely do that, you're always there for people.

You can talk to me anytime, I'm always here. :hug:
