I fucked up the other night. I have a very close friend of mine who is not okay. I've known her since sophomore year of high school. Recently I found out about her horrible past. She's been raped, used, abused, you name it. She opened up to me recently because her best friend, the only person she somewhat trusts, told me some secrets of hers. I'm the second person she trusts the most, even though she trusts me very little. She has severe trust issues because of this. The other night I pulled an all nighter talking to her over text and in my caffeine fueled stupidity, told her how much I cared about her, and that I want to help mend her scars and be able to trust other people. She kept saying that it's not solvable, and to drop it, and to never mention it again and she'll be happy. I told her I can promise that but I still want to help her live life to the fullest. She hasn't responded and its been about 2 days. What should I do from here? I didn't make any romantic moves on her, just told her I cared as a friend.

Congrats, you pushed someone into suicide by pressing their demons into their face and telling them that you will do nothing but talk about them with her.

Okay, i think she will calm down. She can't be mad at you for long because you just wanted to help her. Send her a text that says you are sorry and you will never mention it again and then leave her think about it.
If you have contact with her again, treat her the same way you did before you knew what happened and don't pity her! Don't talk about what you said to her, unless she wants to. She told you this in comfort and obviously wants to forget about it, so act as if you would forget about it.. together.. You have to know that, if she doesn't want to think about it, she really shouldn't go in a relationship that started, because the told this story her partner. She will always be reminded of the reason the relationship startet.
I hope this helps.
Did you make it really clear that you didn't have any romantic intentions? Cause she might also be worried about that. If you can, just act like you did before
