First of all, you are definitely not going to hell! Feelings have a way of showing up uninvited — they don't ask permission and they don't always make sense. That doesn't make you a bad person.

What's important here is the difference between *having* feelings and *acting* on them. Feelings are human. What matters is how they're managed.

Depression can sometimes intensify emotions, making feelings like these feel even more overwhelming and confusing than they might otherwise. It can also cloud judgment and make it harder to see situations clearly.

A few things worth reflecting on:

- Talking to a therapist can be a safe space to work through these feelings without judgment
- Journaling about what's driving these emotions can help bring some clarity
- Setting gentle boundaries with this person, even just mentally, can protect both of you

These feelings don't define you. Being aware that the situation is complicated actually shows a lot of self-awareness. Be kind to yourself — you're human, and humans feel things. 💙
