thanks for admitting your limitations.. mine are similar. You spelled it out really well, it makes me feel less alone. At times I question whether I belong on a mental health support forum at all. After all, there will be folks in suicial crisis, that's part of the purpose. I admire the people who can stay connected and supportive to people in crisis without getting drained. I quit a couple of real life support groups because the overall crisis level was too high for me.
I think I know how to take care of myself here.. I'm ignoring my own limits lately. The little voice says 'maybe it's best not to log in for a couple days' yet here I am... again. I'm not sure how anyone else could help short of coming over and hiding my power cable, but thanks for the offer.
I'll probably have to do some forced time-outs. That seems to really help.
