I have been posting on another forum and today I got a PM from someone who is very depressed and saying that people close to her want her to kill herself. My therapist warned me about this that I do not have the training to deal with this. I am beginning to shake and worry that I may have made things worse. I need a hug

i can understand how you feel, but you know, you don't have to *deal* with it, you should take care of yourself first.

*hugs*
this is not your fault.
Your therapist is right.
Do your best to get this person to a professional with training in how to deal with this.
PLEASE don't blame yourself because all you want to do is make things better

Hugs ((((((( leacon ))))))))

Helping and supporting people on th internet can be very rewarding but you do need to learn how to do good self-care.

Thanks for the replies. I think I have learned my lesson to be careful about what to do on the internet. Last night I could not go to sleep until 3 in the morning. Again thanks, hugs to all.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
