How do I help when I cant help myself?

[LoveMe_HateMe]

MY girlfriend is in a bad place at the moment, she's been clean from cutting for months and he step dad and mum have split up and there's other stuff kicking off and I want to help her... But how do Ihelp someone else when I can't help myself?

I tell her to let me in so I can help... but I do the same, I shut people out then go off and cut. WIth everything going off with me at the minute, I'm surprised that I've not cut since lasat week. I don't know what to do.

Very nearly burned earlier - I've not done that for about a year... Its scared me,

I dont even know what I'm asking for. My thoughts are all over the place again. TIme to go distract myself again I suppose and try not to do anything silly.

Sorry for wasting your time...

what your doing is venting and venting is a good way to relieve and sooth stress. i am very happy that you came forward with your feelings and problems. for yourself stay strong thing of distractions when temptation comes alone..... read a book. draw. play video games......

as for your girlfriend she just needs support right now and to know someone is there for her to support her. the best thing you can do for her right now is stay by her side and try and keep her and yourself happy. watch movies together, talk, many ways to releive tension and temptation.

I'm good at distracting myself... until it comes to going to sleep then all my walls come down and I become a mess, but I guess for now I'm going to get stressed at the Black Ops 2... IF I can connect to the servers....

THat's what I'm trying to do with her, but it's hard sometimes. Sometimes I can't deal with my own problems, let alone anyone elses :/
