My own life experience is that I went through a couple of years where it was very hard for me to take responsibility for my life or my feelings. I wanted other people to make it all better. They tried but they couldn't: some life issues like finance are as painful as banging your head against the wall, there is no answer except perseverance.
Sometimes people lash out at friends who want to help. Personally I wouldn't be able to put up with that. That's not a judgement but my limitation  .

My friend was hurting so I wanted to be there for her as I know she would do the same for me and has done many times prior. I care a lot about people and their feelings really impact me which is why I guess I find it hard when she lashed out.
She was mad because we didn't talk about her issues and when I mentioned it it was 'too late' as she was leaving
