Okay so I've sort of got a habit of helping people with their problems. One girl actually had a razor to her wrist as I was talking her out of it and a lot of others were considering suicide. I managed to talk them all out of it, and months later they've come back thanking me for being there and listening, and talking them out of it. That feeling is great, knowing you've done something good. The thing is, it takes a tremendous chunk out of my mental health. There's one girl in particular who as changed tremendously, but is beginning to be a pain, because she's got a problem almost every week. It's gotten to the point where it's almost annoying, because it's pretty much the same thing every week (parent problems), and since I don't have a bad relationship with my parents, I really don't know what to tell her. She doesn't seem to understand that, despite the fact that I've told her. What could I do to lessen the stress? I don't want to stop helping people who come to me, for fear of them getting worse. I mean, I stopped several people from ending their lives, and I don't want that to happen in the future because of me not helping. But I don't want all this stress... just.. adlkgfklsdfjsdbnfsafjsndjfk uggghhhh. xP

hmm, what I would say for you is to take a chill pill for a second, and take your own time to relax for a bit. Everyone's problems aren't your problems. BUT on the otherhand you should help people when you CAN, currently in this issue I would say you can't. but still I would tell you to suggest to her that she should do some stuff on her own go over a friends house forget about everything and relax. It's the perfect cure for most problems, is to run away from it for a day or two, to where you can relaxe take a breather, then look at it with a fresh mind. In this instance with her parents, I would have to ask what her problem is exactly to help more, because all I can say right now without details is for her to relax and look at it with a fresh mind when she can.

I'll certainly keep the first part in mind. It should be easier, being summer and all, but yeah. I'll try. As for her, that's the thing. Her dad is really over-protective, and barely lets her go anywhere.

I figured as much....I would say she just needs to get outside and find a quiet place for herself to relax and chill, a quiet place is always a good thing to have
