I don’t usually post statuses but I felt like this needed to be said and it’s just been bugging me for awhile. (this isn’t directed towards anyone at all) I feel extreme amounts of empathy towards people with mental illnesses and with people who are going through hardships in their life, but it really crosses my line when they come to me and put their problems on my shoulders and then become upset when I am unable to give them the help that they are asking for. mutuals and people on my instagram come into my dms a lot explaining that they’re depressed/ feel suicidal etc, and that’s terrible! I have felt the exact same in different parts of my life and it really sucks. BUT I AM IN NO WAY A LICENSED THERAPIST!! I cannot give you the help you need and I would appreciate if you would not come to me out of the blue and put your problems in my hands while I’m already dealing with a lot of hard things in my own life, there are so many people who are qualified and willing to help you through this and I would be happy to direct you to any sources if I find any, but I am not one of them.
