No, it's not wrong to want to try to help her, anychance. I just don't know if it would be in your best interests to actually try to. You can't save her, at the expense of starting to lose yourself in the process. I have two questions for you: First, have you and she had an exchange similar to this recently? (Where she came to you depressed and you wanted to help). If so, how did you respond to her and how did it turn out?

Second, what do you think your IC might suggest you do here? I know you'd mentioned a few pages back, that he'd called what she was going through 'tumbling', and recommended you don't allow yourself to get pulled into it. Do you think he/she would respond the same way in this situation? If you're not sure, is there any way you can speak briefly with your IC today? I know mine encourages me to call between appts if I have a quick question or something unexpected comes up that I'm really struggling with.


I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
