Is it possible to help others defeat their demons when you have yet to defeat your own? Does it make it easier because you can empathize more easily, or does it make it worse because you may not be a strong enough “ anchor” for them. I’ve always had a desire to be a counselor or a case worker or something along those lines. But can I do that while battling depression myself? What if it takes years for me to actually “get over it”. That’s years that I am not employed... years that I’m not doing what i love... is it possible to push your pain aside to help others overcome theirs..?
