Personally I was very suicidal when I was younger and so I started a suicide hotline for suicidal people/rape victims/ self mutilators/ drug addicts, that type of thing, and it really helped me get out of my depression, it sounds like it'd have done the opposite, but helping others deal with their ****, tends to 1. take your mind off your own 2. give you someone to talk to 3. put what you are dealing with in perspective
