Should I bother to help my ex girlfriend? She's lost herself after the breakup and her mental health is really bad?

Anonymous

I (25M) broke up with my Ex (22F) of 7 months last week. I haven't moved on completely, and still think about her a few times a day, but I'd say I'm quite over her and would never entertain the idea of trying it out again, because I initiated the break up and had already lost feelings couple weeks ago due to lack of effort from her and refusal to improve. I've been feeling very good and have been able to channel my emotions into productivity, and used my newfound free time to connect with friends and family. She's breaking down everyday, and texting me that she misses me, she wants another chance, she's sorry. Initially I provided her with support, saying the usual "Everything will be ok, you'll find another guy etc.". Then I found out she was on a dating app looking for hook ups. If I'm being honest, her dating profile made me feel so much disgust. I confronted her about it and told her to stop using me for emotional support while she sleeps around with so many men. She responded by saying she just feel so lost without me. Should I bother trying to help her? Maybe I should reach out just to ask why she's destroying herself like that? I feel partly responsible because I did A LOT for her while we were dating, so the void I left in her life must be huge, which is why she's doing whatever she's doing. But at the same time, I don't see what's in it for me to help her out. I do want to friends with her after we've both moved on, and I still care about her as a friend. What do you think?
