I swear, I'm gonna have a mental breakdown. Somebody I know insists that I just make all their problems worse, but then they keep coming back to me to complain about all sorts of nihilistic crap, when there are CLEARLY more qualified people than I to talk to. Like, what the fuck do I even do? They're suicidal, they won't go get help, and I have no fucking idea what to say to them.
They trust you enough to bring it to you. But if it is bothering you to that extent, you need to tell them that. Maybe suggest to them someone else that is better equipped to deal with such things.
I will say it here for all to see, that professional help is rarely effective. Very few people are able to open up and actually talk to a therapist, and a fair number of therapists out there are way too eager to medicate instead of actually talking to and resolving the patient's problems.
But there are legitimate guardian angels out there that people needing such guidance can turn to for help. They'll show themselves when they are needed.
Well, I try to comfort this person as much as possible, but I keep fucking up, and they dont talk to anybody other than me, so I dont know if I should just listen, or leave them to it. I know that it seems idiotic of me to even consider the latter, but I'm at the point of ''I can't fucking do this any more''.
Also, this is why I'm ashamed to be a member of Homo Sapiens
