I cut again, I'm not sure why. I was trying to help a friend out, but I couldn't. For some reason that made me really(I'm not really sure how to describe it really) it just made me feel as if I needed to punish myself for not being able to help. And so, in my fucked up head, I figured that it might help me understand the pain they were going through. I achieved nothing, why do I do this. I like how people come to me if they are having troubles, but I don't know it all. I want to help them but I don't know how. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. When I can't, this is what happened.

hey, I understand how that feels, just know it's not your fault when u can't help them, and remember that even when u don't know what to say, or how to help in words, u helped by letting them talk to u about what was happening, like letting them vent to you, them feeling comfortable enough to talk to u when they need help, even when you don't know what to say, and somethings u can say (depending on their situation) are like, reminding them that you're there for them and that you're sorry this is happening, i hope this helps atleast a little bit <3
ReplyFutile? Maybe you felt futile?
They come to you with their troubles because you have a good heart, and they aren't truly looking for someone to "fix" their problems. You can't be held responsible for that. You can only control yourself. Maybe next time listen to them and suggest someone who you think will give them more qualified/ experienced help, whether that be a professional or trusted adult?
You are not fucked up.
