I had not seen my regular for over a month and assumed he had just got tired of coming to see me.
Well he is back and the reason he has not be in is because he has been suffering from depression after witnessing a horrible event (crime related).
He lost 10kgs and has been off work etc.
He told me that his therapist has told him to talk to someone who makes him happy and that he immediately thought of me.
Im not sure if I can handle this. I have my own psychiatric problems which is partly why i chose not to work in the psychology field after having done my bachelors degree.
Not to mention he is the type of regular who only pays for dances not time so that's another reason against it.
I do feel very sympathetic towards him. I have been depressed and so has my mother (she suffers from bipolar) and I know how terrible it is.
I just dont think I am the best person for him to confide in.
