I have been jumping back and forth between happy and sad today and I'm incredibly tired now...I want to crawl up in a corner and END THIS ROLLER COASTER! I cant take going around and around in circles with my emotions. I CANT BREATH ANYMORE... Please make it stop.

I feel hopeless because I am supposed to be their for my friends, they need my support and I cant give any... I'm all used up.

If someone adds one more thing I have to worry about I'm going to crack...

I am a horrible friend for saying this...

hey
u got alot going on right now. if their ur friends they should understand that u have to take care of u first before u can help them.
becus i cracked today, i must say that halloween was the best time to do it.idk why. but i hope u dont get that far. worry about urself first. if ur not doing well, u wont be able to help them do well.

you're not horrible.. you're honest and sensible.. there is only so much you can do and you have to look after you
your friends should know that you need your time for you and respect that
Don't be hard on yourself.. I don't want you to crack.. I might need you one day too
take care of you first
xxxxx

you have to be there for yourself first and then you can be there for others. if your friends don't understand then they aren't much of a friend.hugs to you

Friend I am going to share something with you. I knew someone who spent alot of time helping others who were constantly saying they were going to kill themselves. Eventually this person got more and more emotionally tied to it. She couldnt step away and she couldnt say no to the people who kept clinging to her.
Last week, she committed suicide because the pressure was too much and she couldnt walk away. She did not take care of herself.

Only when you are strong can you truly help others. They will have to understand or loose you. Hugs

Tell her to call the crisis line or 911. I know it's hard, but there's only so much you can do. Is she someone from ds?
