Still Can't Handle Suicide Talk
I still can't handle talk of suicide. I tried to look through the crises center on the depression group but it started to trigger me so I closed it out again before it got to me.
I wish I could help those people because they are crying out for help but I am afraid that I will get too wrapped up in it and wind up driving myself into a dark hole. Maybe I am being a little selfish here but I just can't handle it.

No you are not being selfish - unless you know you are ready, then it is something you should avoid. Trust your gut on this - the rule here would be to help yourself first and then you can help others. And if you are feeling depressed, the crisis centre can make you feel terrible - that is not selfish, it is a fact - I found that myself. Return when you feel up to it my friend, but my advice would be first to get around those who make you feel better about yourself and then in time you will feel stronger and be able to help other people because you have the inner confidence and experience to handle it. I hope that makes sense. G:)
