Say, I would like some advice on something.
My partner, she came out of an abusive relationship a year or two ago. I'm the first one since that point. I've known her for a long time, we have been best friends for years.
However, I'm slowly growing more and more concerned for her. She tries to bottle up all of her emotions, she feels scared most of the time. She knows that it's all in the past and that she's moved on, there are just these days where I feel helpless I want to ease the pain. Her episodes are slowly starting to be more frequent.
It was really messy I know, there are times where she still sometimes washed her hands ravenously. I know it's not my place, and she told me everything that happened.
What are some of your favorite ways to comfort others?
How would you comfort your best friend if (she/him/they) went through something that robbed them from something like this?
I just would like some advise and some pointers, I want to evaluate what I'm doing is right for her. I don't want to assume, she says she's fine when I know she's not. When it all went down adults weren't as helpful as they could have been. I can tell she's lying when she says she's fine, because I know she's not always fine.
I don't want this to eat at her anymore.
I love her, I tell her that but she tries to push me away like she has some sort of virus. I know she doses it because she cares, I understand that.

Have a long sit down talk with her. Make her listen to you. And let her know that you understand what she is feeling. Empathy. I hope all goes well for you.
