I have been going through literal hell on Earth and have been surfacing to keep myself alive to see the next day. No one has ever helped me and not one person will want to see me in my state. I guess there is not much one can do when someone is about to fall apart and crumble.

I have been through this before and I know eventually it will end. Nothing is permanent and eventually this will come to pass. Sadly, though you're right, most humans cannot help a human at their most vulnerable, fragile state. If I were to see a friend crying, I would offer a hug. Yet, with COVID as rampant as it has been, even a hug is probably asking for too much.

All I can offer is this....you must succeed and trust yourself to be your best friend.

@sarcgeo, thank you for your post.

So true - you must be your own best friend. I do tend to lean on people when I am going through a rough patch. It's just who I am, and I need the support.

I am sorry you are going through your own hell. You sound like a very strong person though. Only the strongest can go through hell alone. I am not one of those people. I need people.
