If your significant other started to self harm again?

i would try to get them to open up about it first. telling someone is the first big step. i would try to support them in any way that they needed. i would try to convince them to get professional help so they can begin to get better.

Hypothetically (since I don't have a significant other), I would let them know I was there for them, and encourage them to seek help for it. I would give them a list of alternatives to self-harm, and some tips on how to recover, and let them know I would always be there if they needed to talk about it.
Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be. It's harsh, and cruel. But that's why there's us - champions. Doesn't matter where we come from, what we've done or suffered, or even if we make a difference. We live as though the world is as it should be, to show it what it can be. |

I would talk to them about it, but I would get them help ASAP if they didn't stop. This is really not something to screw around with. Its so incredibly addicting. I struggled with it for 6 years before I was able to get control. The sooner they get help the better. They may be really angry with you at the time, but later I bet my buttons that they will thank you for helping them.
That being said I would try to help them without involving a third party first. I like giving them a list of alternatives and trying to figure out why they are doing it in the first place. All of that is definitely important. I just wouldn't be too afraid to get more help if it continued or got worse. |
