RE: Matters of the Heart.........Caring/Crying

Yo People!

I seem to wanting to save the world lately; while I, on the other hand seem to be slip slidin away not sleeping at all, working on my latest "Save the World" project since I'm a psych nurse Not standing up against my alter who thinks the rest of us don't deserve to eat..ever!!

YET!!! I come to this forum every day and feel compelled to save all of you......I love you guys!
You're good people!! But, I can't seem to help myself..........and if I don't see a post from someone I sent one to & they are not MIRACULOUSLY CURED....I beat myself and feel I have failed

I realize this probably sounds like a "Super Hero"
complex and you probably think I'm full of

And you're probably right.......should I just go away until I get my own issues solved? (mind my OWN business?) RSVP?

I wrote a similar post about this not so long ago. I often find then while i'm in despair I want to help others here. I have posted some of my previous post as I think it relates in this instance. Your not alone.

I was wondering if anyone ever finds themself dishing out advice to others but at the same time are unable to apply it to their own situation?

I find that I do this quite often. I somehow find it easier to give advice to people who I know are in pain. I do this because I care and because I know how the person is feeling and I know the hell they are going through.
I find it hard to apply my advice to my own problems and I don't understand why. I read back on my posts and think...."WOW, thats good advice".
I have been so down and so depressed lately that I can't help myself but I somehow find it with in me to attempt to help others. I don't know why. I guess I just don't want anyone to feel alone. I want people to know that others out there care and want them to get better. I just want to get better too. But why can't I? My damn brain just wont let me.

I understand what you're saying abouat trying to help everyone. I used to be that way and finally, finally grew out of it. I wish I had advice...I went to a 12 step program and that seemed to help me the most....xoxo pat

Dayzee, you're about as far from BS as they come. The thing is, giving out advise to others is simple. It's their problem... not yours. But taking your own advise means that you're accepting the fact that there's a reason you need the advise. Denial only works for so long and then the bitter pill of acceptance must be swallowed. Anyway, I'm the same way. I dish out advise and hugs and support all over the freakin place here, but I'm slow to take it in for myself.

Please do not go anywhere........your posts are encouraging and needed and wanted ..........they are NOT BS at all!!! What you say in your posts is great I am truly inspired....I think some of the things you say in my head sometimes but cannot put it into words at all. You do it greatly.
I have been having a really rough week but reading your posts been have helpful......I might not tell you all the time every moment but that fact that I am still here typing this post should tell you it helped. I did not give into my suicide ideations and I am still here.
So please do not be so hard on yourself.....if you need some time for yourself then take it, but dont leave period, just ease off some like someone else said.
I feel bad well really bad when my T goes on Vacation but I think about it and after talking to him I realize after all the advice he gives and talking he does and listening he does week after week day and night 24 hrs he needs a vacation and how selfish I was for not wanting him to take it and come back refreshed ready to help me some more.
I am sorry for rambling on so much but you have meant so much to me since coming to this forum and I hate to see you go.
Take care of yourself.
