I could just as easily take my own life, but I'm too scared to do it. I'm always scared.

I'm going to say something that I don't like saying, or that I'm saying it, but I feel like I've lost a lot of the ability to care about people. Maybe I've been burnt before, maybe I've just seen it not work. But I've read some worrying stuff from you all, people I genuinely care about. And I get that knot in my stomach, but I can't bring myself to DO anything about it, even if I really owe it to you. I'm not sure what it is. My own depression and internal conflicts? Just lack of motivation? I hate that it's kind of where I'm at now but I see posts like I have lately and I have no real intention of doing much about it in the way of replies and advice or just a worried post. And that kind of scares me. I didn't think empathy could be limited, but maybe I blew my wad early and just can't get it back. I honestly don't know if I can word it in a way without making it more ♥♥♥♥ up. I'm just too apathetic about it all. Sorry, guys.

A less serious get things off your chest thing but:
please *never* bother bringing up the fact that you posted something before someone else. It's annoying. (no what currently is going on in chat is not directly a cause of this post, it's happened numerous times)

Hey, I hate to admit it, but I'm exactly the same. That's what happens I think if you've had a long term mental illness, a lot of people I know will tell you they feel the same way.

Everytime I try to help, I'm just pushed away. That's why I don't really try helping that much lately. Then again, if a person can't help themselves, they often can't be helped at all. We can only pray that people get better...

I don't think that's always the case, if someone can't help themselves it doesn't mean they're immediately a lost cause, it's just they may need guidance to be able to see a way out. Which is what therapy and counselling is supposed to do (but admittedly doesn't always work).

But I can't quite do guidance over the internet if they shut me out

Oh, I thought you were going to say modern society is ♥♥♥♥ up because of how aggressive/hateful people can get. It's like they live their lives constantly putting down others and completely disregarding other's emotions.
