Have you ever loved someone so much that you pushed them away? This is happening to me. I have four suicidal friends whom I talk to daily at school, and I love them with all my heart. I want the best for them, and I want them to have a great life. They're all depressed,and they all tell me about it. I have no idea how to respond to any of it. I just try to be encouraging and lend a listening ear, but then at the same time, I hate to admit it, but they kind of scare me. What if I say the wrong thing, or I'm not encouraging enough? I can't let them feel hurt in some way that would cause them to hurt themselves or something. I love them all, and I don't want to say something wrong. I feel like I've put a subconscious barrier between me and talking about their problems with them. Not because I don't want to hear them, it's just because I don't know how to respond, and I don't want to say something wrong. I'm trying my best, but my best isn't good enough.
