Yeah I think we all want to help people who need it, but as cliche as it is you can't really do that if you're not willing to help yourself. For that same reason I think it would be frustrating, because you can shower someone with love but if they don't love themselves it will never take hold.

You never really know what will trigger something in someones head. Lke getting through to a dog that's blind with rage. If I ever did get that job I'd carry a deck of cards with me too. Sometimes stuff like that will relax the 'wall'.
I was on suicide watch the last time I was in the ICU (because the admitting nurse didn't understand what I was saying) and that late night time when the hospital becomes a ghost town would be a pretty good time to just get on an equal level with someone. Everyone is different though.
I'm glad she did misunderstand me though because I would have gone batshit if I had to sit there by myself. I met some pretty cool nurses with some pretty cool stories. If I ever end up in there again I'm going to say I'm suicidal just so I have someone around to bullshit with.

Yeah it's funny how you'll find the best people in the worst places. Things usually aren't what you think they are or are going to be, which for me was an important lesson to learn. No matter how bad life seems something can always happen to turn it around, and sometimes when it seems like you have everything you end up miserable. It'd be funny if we weren't living it.

I'm sure you can find a way there if you need to get to the hospital, but I think it would be better to take a few deep breaths and try to envision a more thoughtful approach to your current problems. At some point you are going to have to do that. If you can at least imagine how you could make things better for yourself, you've taken the first step. After that it is just a matter of patience and perseverance.
You're just trippin' man it's going to be ok.
