This isn't an easy line of work; not because of the dangers, but because of the second hand grief a medium has to sort through on a nightly basis. One can't get stuck in the past, for that's what keeps the ghosts suffering and what we're trying to fix. If IRL you're having mental health problems caused by tragedy or otherwise, talk to a psychiatrist, or if you're an american and can't afford it, someone you respect. You are not alone, so don't let self doubt tell you otherwise.
