This is what happens to me. When I first joined, there was a sense of relief that I could talk openly without any sense of judgment from others. Then I started to see the number of young people hurting and spending their time planning their exits instead of living their lives. I wanted to assure each and every one of them that things can get better - maybe not great but the experiences of teens and 20's are such a short time to base a CTB exit upon. Then I was conflicted because I did not want to minimize their pain and that caused an internal struggle which left me emotionally exhausted. I then stay away from the forum for a few days. I'm not anti-suicide, I guess I am just a "what's the rush" type of guy.A lot of people are emotionally exhausted and can't really console everyone who posts a sad story on here.
