Today i found out that my old best "friend" who bullied me for about a year,
Has been self harming.. Burning herself with an iron, cutting..
(we used to be really close, which is why i think she confided in me)
Basically i want to ask you all, do you think i should help her?
Because i know what she is going through.. Or not? Because she
treated me like total crap for ages! I cant forgive her for that.
But i feel like i can help her.. Maybe? I dont know..
Am i being too nice? Should i give her a second chance.. I just dont
want her to turn around and crap on me like last time..
Help :what:

Help her, in turn she might be able to help you, but keep your distance until you trust her again. Although this is coming from someone who always ends up with fake friends who only want her when they need help so maybe i'm not the best person for advice :P But that is what i would do.

I think you should help her. She obviously doesn't know how to deal with emotions, so she's been self harming, which also might explain the bullying. I'm not trying to make excuses for her, because bullying is horrible, and people really shouldn't do it, but that might be why, so she took it out on you, and then herself. You must know what it feels like to want to self harm, so you must understand how she feels.
You're not being too nice, you're being a decent person if you help her.

One thing I would like to add... people can change. I've been accused of bullying before. I suppose I was bullying but i was much younger, and I know what I did was wrong and i'm a totally different person now. So your past shouldn't judge your future.

I know you've already decided to help her, but I just wanna kinda add on what Georgia said, sometimes you have to look beneath what's right in front of you to understand why things happen, as Georgia said chances are the reason she's self harming could have something to do with why she bullied you.
Perhaps what she did doesn't deserve your trust, or a second chance, and no matter what excuse she has, it doesn't make what she did to you okay, but it does still leave her stuck in that rut alone if you left her to battle on her own.
I'm glad you chose to help her, it was the decent thing to do.

Thankyou :)
Im going to try my best to help her. I'm going to still be a bit wary of her though. I don't want to fall into the same situation as I was in before. But she needs help, and seen as she won't get professional help, I will have to make do for now :)

Yes, help her. She probably needs a close friend more than ever right now, and showing her that you still care about her, may mean a whole lot to her.

In short, help her out. It may be returned one day. Also, about the bullying, that may have also lead up to this. I know I get moody when I'm going through depression. Just a thought.
