Hi Skylight, life can be unpredictable and often hard and from time to time im sure we have all experienced the feeling of Helplessness but the most important thing to remember is that you are not Alone. You are never alone, there is always support around and people who care about you and how your feeling.
I understand how you feel and i think you have come to the right place. Whenever you are feeling helpless you can always ask a loved one what they love about you or your best qualities so they can remind you how great you really are 🙂
