> My therapists said that I should stay away because it will feed the depression/anxiety or it will become a self-fulfilling prophesy. I do have a tendency to take on other people's worries, but I am able to control that since I know that "I can't be responsible for other people's happiness." I just truely have a heart for people and I hate when I see someone suffer.
Yes, and when you can help, why shouldn't you be able to have the opportunity to do that? And no matter what, when your therapist decides your "therapy" is over, you can have a place like this, just to feel a connection, even if it's imaginary .. it helps. I think your therapist sounds a bit egocentric, but maybe s/he really believes what s/he's saying. I've found that people who get depressed by Babble or angered to that point or triggered or whatever, mostly are able to handle it and those that can't seem to stay away .. or still stay on because at some level they're just doing what they need to do. Listen to your head and your heart.
