I am the most softest person on this planet... I am feeling very vulnerable all the time and then beat myself up about it after I have done the holy curse ! I was bought up to never disrespect or say NO to anyone.. and to help people all the time.. seems pretty crazy hey but basically I was bought up with manners in the old era .. What do I do if I am in a situation where someone has a problem and I offer to help? I always do ! ... I have met a lady who has really copped it bad. She is an alcoholic and has ??? PTSD Complex... She told me her horror story.. very awful and to say I had to say yes I will help where I can.. although ? really I dont think mentally I can.... I therefore asked her if she wants to come to a PTSD Group support meeting in 3 weeks time. She said yes and asked me to help her as she has tried to self harm... very sad story !... but now I regret it because she will be totally in never land because she will be in lala land with the vodka. Do you think its a good idea at all?... Just asking trying to convince myself that I now think its not a good idea... since speaking to her 2 days ago I have severe anxiety... because her story is similar to mine.. I have done so well over the last few months and have managed to find a place where I can do placement work with a new beginning in my work and now this has #$%^& it up ... I havent worked for 3 years and now I feel really stupid because I have offered to help this lady.. Am I being selfish ?.... or is it a way of me getting better to help her.. I feel so sorry for her.. She has been through a really hard life... what must I do ?
