Hi. 

I really hope its ok to post this.

I am struggling to help my friend through a really tough time. They have had a horrible past with abuse of all kinds. They have confided in me many times they feel worthless, they self harm and talk about suicide. 

I text them daily, take calls where they are in floods of tears at all hours.

I am not judging them at all and always tell them how glad I am they tell me how they feel. I tell them they are like a sibling to me and love them and their pets love them. 

But I don’t know how else to help (we don’t live in the same country). 

What are somethings you wished people had said or great things that people have said to you during hard times.

I just want to do my best.
