This is why on my lj profile page, I state in no uncertain terms that I am not here to be your internets therapist. You have problems; I have problems. But I have to take care of ME first and foremost. I can barely hold myself together, I cannot shoulder all your pain as well. That would be doing neither of us favors.

I have de-friended people before for talking about their cutting, eating disorders, etc. Its your lj, post whatever you want, but I cannot handle reading it and I won't subject myself to it. I am not an endless font of GIVE GIVE GIVE. These are my boundaries. They are clearly marked.

Perhaps setting boundaries with your flist would help you to be healthier and happier in your relationships with them. Your boundaries don't have to be the same as mine. But it might help to consider what works for YOU.

(Also, not everyone who doesn't want to listen to that stuff had a carefree life. I've survived some terrible, terrible things. But I don't talk about them here.)

I know some people would say "Oh god you're so selfish you have to be there for your friends!!!1112", but I agree with you. I was an endless font of GIVE GIVE GIVE for several years and it was frankly exhausting. I do think friends should try to be there for each other but they should also know there's certain times friends can't do much to help; such as when professional help is what's really needed. Setting boundaries doesn't mean you don't care--at times it means you're not going to enable somebody.
