broke(n)....

i've been absorbing negative vibes recently and again for the nth time i'm depressed.i'm torn between two warring friends,i've been giving advice to a person i barely know(marital woes,dang and i'm not even married!!?), one of my friends broke up with her beau and she's in suicidal mode,again one of my friends has been dealing with serious emotional and moral problem, i have my own hang-ups to attend to and i don't know how to deal with all these depressing news....this is my first time to be caught up in a sea of negativity and i am overwhelmed...i thought that after giving pieces of advice i'd be okey...that i won't be burdened by all the problems i've heard...but it turns out otherwise...it's so onerous to be thinking of a problem that's not even yours and try to figure out how you can ease their situation...i should've taken up psychology at least i would have known how to deal with this...so right now i'm still bothered and confused and overwhelmed and depressed and god knows what...i need help....any amount will do....
