MyPTSD Pro
Spent Monday to Friday last week learning about mental illness and how to help people in a classroom setting.
Asked a friend on Friday evening if they were suicidal, the answer came back 'yes', and so we spent an hour on the phone.
The moment I got off the phone, I went into a living room where a different friend related a childhood experience that I found absolutely horrifying. Seems to met that said friend has undiagnosed PTSD.
I'm tired, and I need a break. But I'm really not sure how to feel good about myself when I'm not helping.
What do you do when the compassion fatigue makes you feel numb?
