@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz meanwhile, i think you shouldn't do that, because permanently losing your mental health is far too high a price when convincing someone else who it wouldn't damage is an option
if you are presented with a situation like that, please don't overextend yourself
it's nice to be dead-set on helping someone, but if you find an alternative, you can help many more people instead of dooming yourself with just the one!
@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz (i hope that kinda makes sense, at least..!)
also i guess we should have probably CWd this chain, oops
@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz because that's the problem
if you overextend yourself now, and it damages you--you stop being *able* to help others
the world needs more people like you, *not less*
