a lot of the time when i've tried to help people, they are very rude- no thanks, no words of encouragement, nothing. it does leave me feeling a little defeated... i've tried to offer my support and help and they can't even thank me for it

i also find it difficult to help people, because so many people have failed to help me.

they've seen my suffering (either with MH or something else), and just walk on straight on by

when i help someone it's usually because they are deserving, and they have been nice towards me in the past.
