problems

How can you give advice to slove someone elses problem if they have the same problem as you and you don't have a solution! This idea came into my mind when i was working on that diagnosis for Holden and i realized i couldn't help myself so i really couldn't help him either. In the end i gave him the only advice i could think of. I said if he can't solve his problems himself than he should just kill himself and get it over with. I decided it was his choice wiether he wanted to live in hell for the rest of his life, then actually go to hell, or just skip the middle man and get it over with. It isn't very good advice, but neither is "what your going through is perfectly normal". I mean, that isn't even advice!
